Popular Former MP Endorses New Man
Launch of campaign for Tavistock North
Sunday 13th January 2008
John Burnett, the previous MP for West Devon and Torridge, has endorsed
the Lib Dems recently selected Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, Adam
Symons.
Speaking at the launch of the Lib
Dems campaign to recapture the Tavistock North West Devon Borough Council seat,
John said “We could not have picked a better local candidate than Adam. Born and
brought up on a local farm, he knows the area well, and understands the issues
that people face. He is knowledgeable, energetic and enthusiastic. He connects
with people, and is able to communicate with everyone. Here is someone who will
work full-time for people's interests!”
Lib Dem activists have been
working with local people in the ward to find out the issues that particularly
affect them. Adam led the survey team on Saturday, despite the heavy rain.
Adam said, “We have had a really
good response from our residents’ survey. Lib Dem Councillors are renowned to be
hard-working for the local people in Tavistock, so we hope that residents will
elect another one.”
“I really appreciate John’s
support. He was a very popular MP, and I know that he worked very hard for
everyone. I think you can only do this if you are committed to work full-time to
represent people, which I am.”
The Tavistock North by-election
will be held on February 7th 2008, following the surprise resignation of a
Conservative Councillor.
