SHADOW MINISTER CALLS FOR A CHANGE IN SOMERSET

Caroline Spelman, MP, took time out of her day yesterday to meet with Conservative Councillors in Somerset.

Visiting Somerset for the Southwest Launch of the Conservative Party's European Manifesto, the Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government met with Conservative County Councillors to support their campaign for the County Council elections on June 4^th.

Ken Maddock, Conservative Group Leader on Somerset County Council spent time with the MP, and commented afterwards, "I am pleased to have welcomed the Shadow Local Government Secretary to Somerset, and was very interested to hear of her plans for local government under a Conservative administration. She re-iterated David Cameron’s promise to the people of Somerset that a Conservative government and Conservative County Council would mean a Council Tax freeze. We also agreed that the Conservative party is the change that both Britain and Somerset need.''
