Sir Edward Leigh, the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Gainsborough, has hailed the reaction from voters during his campaigning around the constituency as “the best ever” and argued the public will back David Cameron for another term as Prime Minister.

“Travelling all around the Gainsborough constituency these past few weeks I’ve been taken aback by the warmth and good feeling that voters have expressed regarding the government’s steering the country down the slow and steady path towards prosperity.”

“Voters know that they face a choice between David Cameron or Ed Miliband in Number 10,” Sir Edward, with over thirty years’ experience in the House of Commons, asserted, “and they know we simply cannot afford to let Labour back in.”

“It’s also important that we turn out for our district council elections,” Sir Edward continued. “We face a number of problems here, whether it be the threat of over-development, or the peril of wind farms slicing through our beautiful views and looming over our homes and villages. Our Conservative team on West Lindsey District Council are working hard to make sure local views are heard, and I’m glad on planning matters local decisions have been backed up by Eric Pickles as the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.”

The elections for Parliament and for West Lindsey District Council take place on Thursday 7 May 2015.
