Nomination papers

This afternoon, I travelled to Liskeard to hand in my nomination papers for the St Austell and Newquay constituency.

The ten people who signed the papers are councillors and campaigners that I have worked with over the last decade.

My proposer is Andrew Waters, who represented St Enoder Parish on Restormel Borough Council from 1995 to 2009 and the parishes of St Enoder and Colan on Cornwall County Council from 2005 to 2009. My nomination is seconded by Harry Heywood, another former Restormel Councillor who is now the Cornwall Councillor for Newquay Treviglas.

The other eight signatories are Des Curnow (Cornwall Councillor for St Stephen), Fred Greenslade (Cornwall Councillor for St Dennis), John Wood (Cornwall Councillor for Roche), Tim Jones (former Liberal Democrat leader of Restormel Borough Council), Matthew Luke (former MK councillor on Restormel), David Mathews (former Lib Dem councillor on Restormel), Dennis Harris (former Lib Dem councillor on Restormel and Cornwall County Council) and Pat Blanchard, a leading opponent of the proposed incinerator for St Dennis.

I am grateful for their support.
