Campaiging in Kent Estuary
I joieed a canvassing and delivery session yesteday morning in the Kent Estuary division of Cumbria with Westmorland and Lonsdale Conservagives and their PPC Councillor James Airey.
We were campaigning for two excellent Conservative local by-election candidates
It was a purely local campaign day and we were delivering leaflets about things like Tom Harvey's proposals about which local roads in Kent Estuary division he would seek to repair using some of the 12 million pounds the government has given Cumbria to fix local highways.
(By the way, like other local committee members I am working with CCC highways officers concerning which roads in Copeland should benefit from the share of that money coming to our part of the county, so if any of my constituents in Mirehouse West, St Bees, Moor Row or Bigrigg have views on that, please contact me.)
Interestingly, although it was a purely local campaign and we were not asking about things like Brexit, we did in fact hear quite a bit of unprompted support for Theresa May as Prime Minister - some of it from people who don't necessarily like her deal but respect what she is trying to do in incredibly difficult circumstances to deliver Brexit on the best terms we can get.
