EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured in February 1992, we witness a significant moment in environmental activism as Liberal Democrat members gather to discuss the pressing issue of harbour pollution in Fowey, Cornwall. The photograph showcases three influential figures engaged in a conversation that would shape the future of this picturesque coastal town. On the right stands David Gammon, assistant harbourmaster at Fowey, who appears deeply engrossed in the discussion. His presence signifies the local authority's commitment to tackling pollution and preserving Fowey's natural beauty for generations to come. To his left stands Robin Teverson, Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate for South East Cornwall at that time. Little did he know then that his dedication to public service would lead him on a remarkable journey culminating with his appointment as a life peer in 2006. Next is Simon Hughes, Member of Parliament for Bermondsey and Old Southwark from 1983 until 2015. As deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats from 2010 to 2014 and later knighted for his contributions, Hughes brought valuable expertise and political clout to address environmental concerns nationwide. Completing this trio is Paul Tyler, whose political career witnessed various twists and turns before becoming MP for North Cornwall in 1992. A staunch advocate for sustainable development, Tyler played an instrumental role in shaping policies aimed at protecting not only Fowey but also other areas affected by pollution. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how individuals from different backgrounds can
