Canvassing in Newton

Today I went out with a group of local Conservatives to canvass for my friend Sam Clark who is standing as a candidate in the Roman Bank by-election. She hopes that the people of Leverington, Newton, Tydd St Giles, Foul Anchor, Tydd Gote, Gorefield and Four Gotes (yes that is a lot of villages) put their faith in her to become the District councillor for the area. It was a lovely day and we had an equally good response from the people we spoke to.

Sam with Cllr Steve Tierney in Newton.

The team split up into half with myself, Sam and my Cllr Steve Tierney canvassing in Newton whilst the others leafleted Tydd St Giles. Newton is a lovely village with some equally great people. They also all know Sam. Seriously, I knocked on so many doors today and virtually all of them knew who she was. Sam is a resident of Newton and also a parish councillor. Sam also organises lots of the villages events and helps people in the community with her job as a carer. It's no wonder why she is very well known then. Sam is also very well known in the surrounding villages for her community efforts. She is a real champion of the people and does a lot for them. Just think about all the other things she could do if she was elected as a Fenland District Councillor.

As you can probably can guess, we got a very good response  on the doors. People are very keen to vote for Sam and the Conservatives, which is always good to see. The leafleters also had a very good day doing a large portion of the ward. All in all we probably canvassed 1/5 of the ward and leafleted 1/4 too. A very successfully day. But we will not stop until all the votes are in and Sam has hopefully been elected to serve.

Residents of Roman Bank please vote for Sam Clark on the 8th May. She is a local champion who will help sort your issues.

Back In Wisbech North

We were out and about again in Wisbech North yesterday with Cllr Sam Hoy who wishes to seek re-election. We went to canvass parts of Clarkson Ward and Kirkgate where the voters responded to Sam well.

The highlight of the day was convincing several young girls who had never voted before too come out and vote Conservative. They were very impressed by Sam's expertise in the town yet being a very young face. She will represent Wisbech North very well if elected again.

One of the things we pointed out is that Sam had saved the Wisbech Park toilets. Fenland District Council had wanted to close these down as part of savings but Sam and Cllr Carol Cox, another Tory from Clarkson ward, put pressure on FDC and saved the toilets by getting the Town Council to buy them. This is a very good thing considering the high usage of the Park which is always full and hosts festivals every year. Wisbech Park is great.

Geoffrey Van Orden MEP also came to help out Sam yesterday as he believes she is a good Tory Councillor that needs to be supported. Geoffrey was also good in answering questions around the EU and immigration by explaining how he and the Party are making a real difference having cut immigration by 1/3 last year and standing up for the national interest in Europe. Sam herself wants to have an EU referendum now so that the country can take back control of its borders and to stop silly laws from Brussels. Many Conservatives wavering because of this national issue were convinced that Sam is in line with their views unlike the Labour and Independent Candidate who want uncontrolled immigration and closer integration with the EU.

Wisbech North, please re-elect Sam. 

In other news this is the front of my house. I hope Steve is happy.

I'm Voting for Steve

Got this in the post today.

I am voting for my good friend and sound Conservative Cllr Steve Tierney. Steve is one of the best Councillors Cambridgeshire has and represents his division well. Steve is in the elite group of councillors who go above and beyond holding surgeries every month and getting involved in everything going on. He must be re-elected on May 2nd. see http://www.romanbankandpeckover.co.uk/ to see what he does.
