Henry Vann for Bedford and Kempston
Announcing his candidacy for the Bedford and Kempston constituency for the Liberal Democrats, Education Portfolio Holder, Councillor Henry Vann said:
"Residents of Bedford and Kempston have been let down repeatedly by the Tory Government. They are closing our magistrates court, threatening to downgrade our hospital, putting school budgets under pressure and slashing funding for social care for the vulnerable.
At this election we can show the Conservative government what we think about their assault on public services in Bedford and Kempston. We can also send a message about the 'hard Brexit' Theresa May is inflicting on the country and the Government's failure to guarantee the rights of EU citizens.
Only the Lib Dems can stop the destruction a Conservative majority will bring for local services and for Britain's future prosperity."
