East Midlands Policy Officer Phil Knowles has urged all Party Activists and Supporters to Converge on Corby and to take the Lib Dem Policies onto every doorstep.

Speaking after returning from Corby Phil Knowles said '' Other parties have chosen their candidates so the campaigning will step up a gear. We have to take every opportunity to get onto the doorsteps and streets, to talk with the Community. We have to ensure that every leaflet is delivered and do everything we can to convey to people that we are never complacent, always listening and keen to do what's best for families and businesses to provide long term security.

" Jill, Chris, Stuart and the team are well prepared and enthusiastic to take the Lib Dem campaign forward but they will need help. If you have even one hour to spare please contact them and help. It will be greatly appreciated.

This is a By Election that will be closely scrutinised by the press both national and local. We have to make every effort to deliver a good result and to get behind Jill Hope''
