Campaigning in the Abbey by-election

Today I was back over in Abbey Ward in Nuneaton campaigning ahead of the by-election that will take place on 20 September. I was canvassing in an area not too far from where I was last week. I thought the response was better this week and there was certainly movement towards us with former Labour supporters saying they were planning to switch this time.

Our candidate Mish Whitmore has been campaigning on the issue of resident's parking which also seems to have hit a chord.
