Twenty Five Good Reasons To Vote Phil Bateman On May 1st

Well the Sunday Newspapers are saying it like it is! Labour are a whopping 16% behind in the opinion polls and that will give great impetus to the Conservatives. But I have to say that I am getting great local support from right across all the neighbourhoods that make up Wednesfield North.

In local elections people are voting for the Councillor that can 'do the job' for their community. The Councillor that is in touch with local neighbourhoods, that is part of the very fabric of the community that they the voter are part of themselves.

Being a Labour Party candidate will be difficult, but I am still buoyed in my quest for re-election by the fact that people in this community of Wednesfield North know that I fight on their behalf. During the course of the decades that I have represented them in the City Council I have always been a ferocious campaigner for our community. I think local people will recognise that.

They will recognise the great strides that the city has made over the last decade. They will see £ billions of new investment that will be coming to the City over the next years and they will respond.

I am very much standing on my record in this 2008 City Council election campaign, and here are 25 good reason's for Wednesfield North's electorate continuing to place their vote alongside my name on May 1st.
