By-Election called for Dishley and Hathern...

Following the resignation of Labour Party Councillor Sharon Williams, who represented the Loughborough Ward of Dishley and Hathern, a by-election has now been called to be held on 23rd October, 2008.

 

The British National Party currently has one elected Borough Councillor on Charnwood Borough Council, Cathy Duffy,  who represents the village of East Goscote. All our Councillors, Parish and Borough, work extremely hard and have attended all their meetings.

 

 Should we win this by-election, this would give the British National Party a chance to make a difference for the people across Charnwood. Having two Councillors on Charnwood Borough Council would give us the opportunity to put forward motions which could be seconded!

 

We have looked at this election and really do believe that we can win. We are starting leafletting this Sunday please call Kevan Stafford on 07952977114 if you can help and together we WILL win!

Record sponsorship for European election fund.

A record £4,065 in sponsorship was raised by Maurice Collett, Mathew Sleath and Nigel Podam towards the cost of standing candidates in next June’s European elections. The intrepid trio cycled 100 miles from Leicestershire to Skegness in a sponsored bike ride. Below is a photograph of Maurice revealing the figure at last Saturdays North West Leicestershire Social.

 Thursday was the day of the long awaited Melton Egerton Bi-Election.

 

Following a full campaign put in by the BNP, and a full campaign from Labour, who as usual dedicated themselves to trying to smear the British National Party, the results are as follows:

 

Lab 314
BNP 236 (32.5%)
Con 177

 

Overall a great result, and, we have increased our vote in the area.

 

Well done to all those who worked hard to achieve this result.

 

Considering the circumstances, what a fantastic result! We look forward to taking this seat, along with several others at the next round of local elections.
