Graham Jones MP begins election campaign for 2015

MP for Hyndburn, Graham Jones, has been out canvassing ahead of next year's local and general election. Graham was first elected to parliament in 2010 and has the full backing of the Labour group in Hyndburn to continue as representative for the borough.

Graham and various Labour Councillors have already been campaigning in Knuzden, St Oswalds and Baxenden, with each of the townships to follow over the next few months. Positive responses for Graham and the Labour group as a whole have been encouraging, particularly in traditionally Conservative strongholds such as Baxenden where support for Peter Britcliffe and the local Tories would appear to have waned considerably.

Selections are now complete for all Labour candidates and profiles will be posted online in the near future.
