Northampton South Chron Debate: 7pm tonight at Sixfields
April 30, 2010 12:00 AM
Come along tonight at 7pm and judge each of the candidates on their policies, their values and their priorities for our town.
Following Wednesday's win by Andrew Simpson in the Chron's Northampton North hustings, Paul Varnsverry will go head to head with Tory MP, Brian Binley, and ex-Labour MP turned Independent, Tony Clarke. Labour's Clyde Loakes, meanwhile, is set to stay away.
Tickets are free and are available on the door. Please arrive at the Cobblers' ground before 7pm to secure a seat.
Commenting ahead of tonight's debate, Paul said:
"I'm really looking forward to tonight's debate. I will be taking Mr Binley to task on his record in Parliament, including his expenses arrangements.
Northampton-born Paul is an international expert in his field and Borough Councillor for West Hunsbury. He thinks Northampton has been poorly served by a succession of Labour and Conservative politicians.
"I will also be looking to combat Mr Clarke's populist platitudes and put forward a robust case for Liberal Democrat policies in Northampton South.
"Like Andrew, I have a very clear sense of what Northampton needs to get its businesses and its local economy moving.
"As a Northamptonian born and bred, our town has been consistently overlooked for inward public and private sector investment over the years.
"As MP for Northampton South, redressing that lack of investment would be my first priority."
