Conservatives start Elections 2011 leaflet campaign

SOUTH WEST HOLDERNESS CONSERVATIVES have started their East Riding Council election campaign with key commitments to; tackle flooding, smells from the Saltend waste water treatment works and to prevent future "monstrosities" such as the waste incinerator from being sited in the Ward.

These commitments and others were made in a special Election issue of Conservative InTouch which is currently being circulated in the Ward area. The two candidates, John Dennis and Mike Bryan, both former Mayors of Hedon and local businessmen in the town, say that they want to "promote, preserve and protect the interests of residents" of the area and say it is about "local decisions being made by local people".

On public spending cuts - possibly an emotive issue during this election - the candidates say that they will "endeavour to lessen the impact felt by residents in cuts to essential services".

On the issue of the Alternative Voting system referendum? - the vote on which also takes place on Thursday 5th May - InTouch clearly bears the logo of the Vote NO to AV campaign.

The Conservative candidates will be holding a street surgery in Hedon Market Place on Saturday 30th April from 10am - 12noon.

There are 8 other candidates standing in the Ward - 3 Labour, 3 Liberal Democrats and 2 Independents. Despite early indications otherwise, there are no candidates from the new East Yorkshire Independents Party standing.
