Conservative Leader Meets Shoppers on Market Day
Conservative Leader David Cameron came to town on Market Day last Tuesday to meet local people and bring his Change message to Tamworth.
With local Conservative candidate, Christopher Pincher, Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha met shoppers in Market Street and George Street during his walkabout. He dropped into the Tamworth Toolbox to talk to owner Derek Niceklls, picked up a “We All Need A Dave” T shirt from a stallholder and kissed his first baby of the election campaign.
Commenting on the visit Christopher Pincher said:
“David told me he had a great afternoon, meeting and talking to real people about their issues and concerns. He told an elderly lady that Conservatives will link pensions to earnings to increase the old age pension and freeze council tax; he promised to put a firm cap on immigration answering a question from a man from Amington and that we would scrap Labour’s National Insurance rise which will destroy jobs.”
“The reception we got was very positive which reflects the feeling I get on the doorstep when I am out canvassing. People are really eager for change and here in Tamworth the only party that can provide that positive change is the Conservatives”
Conservative Candidate Kidnapped….For Charity
Monday, April 19th, 2010
Conservative Parliamentary Candidate, Christopher Pincher, took an hour out from the election campaign trail last Thursday 15th April when he was “kidnapped” by local students from the Prince’s Trust. The kidnap was all part of a charity day to run by the Trust to raise funds to spruce up the garden outside OAP sheltered accommodation in Bancroft, Glascote.
Mr. Pincher spent an hour held hostage in the team’s offices in Lichfield Street where he was given a cup of tea and a phone by the kidnappers. To be released he had to raise a ransom from friends and family which will help pay for the garden improvements in Bancroft.
Mr. Pincher hit the phones to win his release and soon raised £101 for the Trust’s funds.
Christopher Pincher said:
“We have been working fourteen hour days since the campaign began so an hour off was a welcome break. I think I must be one of the few victims who actually looked forward to being kidnapped! The work the Prince’s Trust is doing for Bancroft and generally for young people is fantastic. It provides help with CVs, skills building, job placements as well as community activities like this one. Best of luck to them.”
