Local Conservatives Meet Prime Minister During Visit to Staffordshire

Prime Minister David Cameron visited Burton, on Friday (19 April), to see for himself how Staffordshire County Council, under Conservative control, is helping small businesses like Network Railways Ltd with the Staffordshire Small Business Loan supporting 9 jobs, how Burton Albion FC are doing in the promotion battle and speak to local Conservative County Council candidates.

During the meeting with Conservative candidates for Staffordshire County Council, the Prime Minister said, “The next big fight for this party is on May 2nd.  Remember what we’re fighting for.  Yes, we’re fighting for our councils but it’s about more than that.

“We’re rebuilding our country.  Backing hard-working people.  Making this a country where if you work hard and do the right thing, you will get on.  We’re building a country where you put in, you get out.

“You work hard, you get rewarded.  You save, you get security.  And we are saying to each and every hardworking person in our country: we are on your side.”

The Prime Minister also took part in a question answer session with the candidates and answered questions from three of Tamworth’s Conservative candidates, Cllr Ben Adams, Cllr Andrew James and Cllr Jeremy Oates.
