Watford Campaign off to a flying start

by Richard | 9 Apr 2010 | No Comments

Our campaign in Watford started with a bang on Tuesday with a spot on Radio 5 Live’s Victoria Derbyshire show followed by scores of supporters hitting the streets as soon as the election was announced. It was great to have so many supporters on street stalls, leafleting at stations and delivering leaflets to thousands of homes across the constituency, from Leavesden to Leggatts, Nascot to Stanborough, Abbots Langley to Carpenders Park.

More and more people are coming forward to help as they now realise they can make a difference in bringing about the change that we need in Britain today. Even in the first few hours after the election had been announced, dozens had already come through our doors asking what they can do to help get Gordon Brown out!

We only need a tiny swing of 1.97% to unseat Gordon Brown’s Labour candidate so every bit of help can make all the difference. Here’s how to get involved.

The following day continued at pace with David Willetts coming to visit one of our local Sure Start Centres. We went to the Berry Grove Children’s Centre in Garston to take a look at the great work they do there and the vital services they provide to young families in the area.

Sitting with the mums who were playing with their kids, we chatted about how the Sure Start Centres have been a lifeline in bringing up their kids. The mums were pleased to hear that the Conservatives  are fully backing the Sure Start Centres.

Today was packed once more with street stalls in Abbots Langley and canvassing in Garston. It was made all the better by the beautiful weather we’re enjoying. This weekend, let’s keep are fingers crossed for more of the same!
