Towcester By-Election Attracts National Support
Originally published by East Midlands Liberal Democrats
Liberal Democrat Minister for Business Vince Cable made time in his visit to Northamptonshire to meet the Towcester Focus team and give support to Chris Lofts and Lisa Samiotis - Liberal Democrat candidates for the by-elections in Towcester on 9 February.
"One of the things I've always been proud of as a Liberal Democrat, is how effective our Councillors are. The Enterprise Zone I visited this morning is here because of foundations laid by Liberal Democrats - foundations, I am told, the Conservatives on Northamptonshire County Council opposed. Up to 17,000 jobs could be created because Liberal Democrats didn't back down."
He continued, "Speaking to Chris about the work he and the FOCUS team have been doing in Towcester I see the same thing; hard work and genuine concern for the town. I know Chris will make a fantastic county councillor for Towcester - it sounds like it's time they had a truly local, hard working representative."
