HUNTER FIGHTS FOR MORE POLICE

Charles Kennedy and Mark Hunter want more police on patrol in our area

LIB DEM by-election candidate Mark Hunter has launched his campaign with a pledge to fight for more police on patrol in our area. Mr Hunter is also calling for tougher sentences for drug dealers and action to tackle bureaucracy that keeps police officers off the streets.

Mark said, "Crime and anti-social behaviour causes misery for many local people. Despite a lot of tough talk from Tory and Labour politicians in London, our local police force remains underfunded. This must change."

Only last year, the local Lib Dem run Council was forced to spend more cash to put an extra 50 officers on patrol across our area. Yet the funding from the Labour Government remains well below what it should be.

Petition launched

Together with local Lib Dem campaigners Mark Hunter has launched a petition demanding fair funding for our local police. Mark Hunter said, "If elected, I will take the battle for better funding for local police to Parliament. Local people deserve a properly funded police force."

    If you are a resident of the Cheadle constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
