Local people "deserve to have their say", campaigners urge

Lib Dem campaigners Chris McGlynn, Chris Nelson and Jehad Soliman have launched a campaign to find out more about local problems.

Local residents have been urged to have their say on problems affecting their area, after Liberal Democrat campaigners began delivering a residents' survey to over 10,000 homes in and around Kettering.

The move comes as the party welcomed a "massive" response to surveys elsewhere in our area and hailed ideas raised by local residents.

"With all that's happened lately there's been a lot of focus on national issues", commented Lib Dem campaigner Chris McGlynn. "But with the huge response we've had from previous surveys, it's clear that people deserve action on things affecting them locally."

"Local residents often have real common-sense solutions to improve the areas in which they live," added constituency organiser Chris Nelson, "which are too often missed by Labour and the Conservatives."

"We are looking forward to listening to what they have to say!"

An on-line version of the survey can be completed at www.ketteringlibdems.org.uk/residentsurvey.
