Well what a difference a day makes. It was a wet and windy session tonight unlike the weekend session, but we didn’t let the weather dampen our spirits.
And what a session! Our best yet for Labour promises in fact and a bumper evening for our posters too. With many choosing to put these up as the team, Garry and I were at their doors.
Also we came across a good handful of Liberal Democrat voters – or former Lib Dem voters now rather – that have switch their support to Labour, the real progressive party in British politics, in disgust at them being in bed with the ideologically cut driven Conservatives.
PS – The Conservative, Liberal Democrat candidate(s) and the incumbent Mr Webster are noticeable by their absence in the ward. Not a sausage.
A very sun soaked door-knocking session around Pyegrove Rd and Queens Drive in the ward this afternoon with Garry and the some of the team.
We also found that there was a surprising amount of anti-Chris Webster feeling around Queens Drive, especially if you think that residents there are his neighbours!!
Canvassing and chatting with people in and around north part of the Village (Castle Hill/Shireway/Bute St/Thorpe St/Wellgate/Church St South/Blackshaw Rd/Church St/Kilmory Fold) last night and tonight. Some very warming responses indeed. Overwhelmingly people want better representation for the ward.
