Hilary Armstrong Election material
Hilary has made one of her flyers avaliable for download from her official site.
It makes much of the economy in our area, something that the other candidates have yet to respond to, and it is a hard argument to fight against.
The tories are going to find it hard to fight against this as the last time they were in power this area was worse off, would we be better off with a Tory goverment? It is a hard case to make and Jamie has yet to respond...and Alan Ord is possibly trying to find North West Durham on the map (Left a bit and up a bit from Durham Alan)
Now I do have to take issue with the better deal for pensioners. Labour are offering a £200 council tax refund..this year only though! Funny that its an election year. Now the Tories are topping that offer with a £500 rebate and I am guessing that doesn't have a time limit on it. With the Libdems basing their council tax on income the pensioners would probably pay nothing at all.
No metion of, ID Cards, the War or even Tony Blair or Mr Brown though.
