Liberal Democrat Mike Chapmans Says, "Conservative Complacency is Letting us Down"
The Liberal Democrat Candidate in the Bovingdon By-Election, Mike Chapman says, "Conservative complacency is letting us down"
Yes, a Tory DBC councillor scored Zero out of Nine for attendance!
That was the record of the Conservative Councillor who resigned to cause the By-Election in Bovingdon, Flaunden & Chipperfield. The By-Election is on June 8th, the same day as the General Election.
From Jan 1st to May 11th, out of 9 possible attendances at council meetings and committees he did not attend even one!
And it wasn't something new, either. Since 8th June last year there were 18 possible attendances and he showed up just 3 times.
Now there can be many reasons for situations like this to arise - moving away or illness for example.
However, there was plenty of time to put it right. And it was the Conservatives' responsibility to sort it out and ensure that the people of Bovingdon, Flaunden and Chipperfield had a full complement of councillors to represent them.
The fact is that the Conservatives take you for granted. They just couldn't be bothered to do their duty until forced into it by the reality of the calendar and the risk of an automatic disqualification.
Mike says, "Don't reward Conservative complacency by supporting them again."
Vote for Mike Chapman and help the Liberal Democrats to make things better in our Borough!
