Out & About

The beginning of the second full week of the campaign saw no let up in Mark Garnier's work. Mark spent the morning meeting with local traders in Bewdley, catching up on those missed from his earlier walk about in Bewdley's town centre.

This afternoon, Mark Garnier visited the traders in Kidderminster's Comberton Hill to see how business was getting along and to listen to concerns about the proposed road changes. The shops along 'The Hill' rely on quick stop-off trade and the proposed road changes with regard to the relocation of traffic lights will remove some of the stop off parking bays.

On the day that Conservatives announced the manifesto, Mark was out and about again. First in Far Forest to meet with local residents worried about their local environment, and then into Bewdley to meet with local shop owners.

Today, Gordon Brown finally called for the dissolution of Parliament and has named the date for the general election: 6^th May. Preparations have been in place for months and the Conservative team have spent the day getting out the first of the posters, delivering the first election literature to voters, and knocking doors across Wyre Forest.
