Cllr Michael Mullaney addresses national party conference on successes in Hinckley and Bosworth
Michael Mullaney the Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for Bosworth and Executive Member for Council Housing on Lib Dem run Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council took to the stage of the Party's national conference at the weekend to set out the achievements in Hinckley and Bosworth. Michael Mullaney said "I'm delighted that Hinckley and Bosworth were one of the first Council's to pay all our directly employed workers at least the Living Wage. In addition to this we have also managed to freeze Council Tax for five years in a row, meaning we have the lowest Council Tax in Leicestershire and one of the top ten lowest in Britain. And done this without any cuts to frontline services or compulsory redundancies. "In addition we have seen thousands of jobs come to our area through the Enterprise Zone at MIRA on the A5 near Hinckley and we are seeing a major regeneration of Hinckley town centre with a new cinema, shops and restaurants which will bring many jobs to the area."

Labour throw in the towel in Hinckley & Bosworth
The Labour Party appear to have given up any hope of winning Bosworth after local Labour supporters were emailed by Party bosses in London urging them to go and help in Loughborough. An email sent out by Labour's London campaign HQ told Labour supporters in Hinckley and Bosworth that "Loughborough is a battleground seat - crucial to securing a Labour majority - so we're asking volunteers from the surrounding area to help us win our constituency." This follows on from the official Labour win website which last year said that Bosworth was "not one of Labour's target seats at the next election." Lib Dem Cllr Michael Mullaney, who came a close second to Bosworth's disgraced Tory MP David Tredinnick at the last election said, "Everybody knows there is only one way to get rid of Bosworth's out-of-touch Tory MP and that is to support the Lib Dems this time. "Labour has come third, or even fourth, at every election in this area for the past 10 years. Labour nationally have recognised that they are out of the race
