Labour give up in Wycombe!

Written by morty on October 16, 2006 – 12:58 pm -

The Greater Hughenden By-Election on 9th November will be a straight contest between the Conservatives and the local Liberal Democrat candidate William Barnes.

Labour have thrown in the towel and have not put up a candidate.
After coming last in each of the 4 recent local by-elections it looks like Labour are running scared from the electorate. Disappointing as William Barnes was to challenge their candidate over the plight of Wycombe Hospital’s A & E department.

The by-election now gives the voters of Greater Hughenden a clear choice – William Barnes or no change.

    I confess myself somewhat surprised that the Tories have the brass neck to contest the seat. Tory voters in Hughenden have had to contend with the fact that they elected a councillor to serve as a Tory, who then resigned from his party group to be an independent. Then, with only months of his term left, resigned the seat – causing an costly by election. I sincerely hope that disenchanted Tory voters will give William a chance to prove his worth!

    For far too long the Tories have thought that the good people of Wycombe will support them, well it’s time for a change!
    Ask the parents, students and pupils of The Cressex School who recently had their budget for redevelopment pulled (now restored due to public pressure). Ask the parents whose children have been upset because they didn’t pass their 11+ and are made to feel that they have failed at an early age because we have a selective education system in Bucks!
    Ask the public, staff and patients at Wycombe General Hospital who have seen our local services transferred!
    Ask any of these people and they will tell you that it’s time for change.
    Local people know what is best for them and their families.
    To all the people in Hughenden I say to you ‘You can make a change, make your voice heard’
    Vote for the Liberal Democrats
