With the local elections on 1 May 2008 only a month away, an increasing amount of my time is being spent “on the campaign trail” helping Liberal Democrats standing for election for the Council. Council meetings are now almost over until the next municipal year, which gives even more time for campaigning!

In Holyrood Ward, Vic D’Albert, who’s been our councillor for an increadable 17 years is standing for re-election, and there will be a full-slate of Liberal Democrat candidates across Bury.

As the Lib Dem’s Group Leader in Bury I’ll be helping wherever I can and last night was an 0pportunity to join Mary D’Albert who is campaigning hard to become our third councillor in the next door St Mary’s Ward. Mary has lived locally in Prestwich for 25 years and will make a first class councillor. In joined Mary and her team canvassing in St Mary’s ward, and it was excellent to receive such a brilliant resposnse from local people on the doorstep. More information on Liberal Democrat canididates across Bury will be available on the Bury Lib Dem’s website after nominations have closed on Friday.
