A packed meeting at the New Plough Inn in Hinckley saw Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Michael Mullaney launch his general election campaign.
A candidate to be the next MP for Hinckley and Bosworth got a surprise when he canvassed one local resident. Cllr Michael Mullaney, who is the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Bosworth knocked on the door of a local resident to discover that they had written a biography of a previous Liberal MP for the area, George Ward. Michael Mullaney canvassed David Herbert a resident in Earl Shilton and ended up being given a signed copy of Mr Herbert's book "The Life and Times of George Ward", Liberal MP for Bosworth in the 1920s. Michael Mullaney said "This was a canvassing first. Knocked on a door and ended up leaving with a signed copy of a book written by the resident I called on! "David Herbert wrote a history of George Ward who was a Liberal MP for Bosworth Mr Herbert told me that George Ward was a rarity among Bosworth MPs in that he was based locally. If I manage to replace Mr Tredinnick, Bosworth will again have an MP who lives locally."
Local Lib Dem Councillor Michael Mullaney's campaign to be Bosworth's next MP has got off to a flying start. The Lib Dems say that they have already called at many local homes and that people see a clear choice locally.
Local Councillor Michael Mullaney has welcomed news that two local churches will be sharing £162,200 of funding from The Listed Places of Worship: Roof Repair Fund.
