Delighted to be re-selected - determined to continue our crucial, ongoing work

You may have read in the local press that I was re-selected as the Liberal Democrat Candidate for Mayor of Bedford Borough at a meeting of local party members last week, and I am obviously delighted to be selected. It has been a tremendous honour to serve as Mayor of Bedford Borough over the past year. During what are extraordinarily difficult economic times we have begun the fight back against years of chronic underinvestment in road and pavement maintenance, cut Council waste and have protected front line services while keeping Council tax down. Each of these vital tasks is ongoing, and I want to carry on the job of working to make sure the Council is working for all local residents across Bedford Borough.
