Tony Heywood has been canvassing hard in the Victoria and Wyndham wards of the town where he is seeking to topple prominent Tory Ann Bown. Tony and his team have knocked on hundreds of doors and have been enthused by the support they have got and believe they can retake the West of Bridgwater for Labour -which would be a major coup.
Tony says “People are coming back to Labour. With no UKIP candidate we are seeing a major move from their former voters back to us and there is absolutely no enthusiasm for the Lib Dems who have been wiped out in Bridgwater and who we know simply put the Tories back in power the last time they had a chance at Government.”
What Voting Tory actually means
Tony believes that his tactic of reminding people what voting Tory actually means is having an effect.
