Canvassing gets underway in Lutterworth

A very good morning's canvassing in the region of Riverside and Misterton Roads. Many thanks to Elaine, Peter and Sandra for their efforts. Last week's cuts, benefits for the poor and tax for the wealthy, have clearly struck a chord, as have the Chancellors outrageous linking of benfits and the Philpott case. There is a general sense of how unfair this is, and we need to demonstrate to people that Labour is the best alternative.

Locally there is some amazement that we have new footpaths in Church Street whilst the town suffers increasing, and dangerous, levels of traffic pollution. A bit like giving the bridge of the Titanic a lick of paint. Labour, of course, had a solution for this and was ignored. Lutterworth is not even mentioned in future traffic plans, and there is certainly no evidence of preparing a bid for some of the money that is going to become available for major infrastucture projects.
