Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones | I'm on your side

What a beautiful sunny day in Wiltshire.  This morning we met early shoppers in Melksham outside our lovely new Waitrose.  I had to leave the team delivering (thank you for all your help!) for an interview with the Wiltshire Gazette & Herald before going to Corsham to meet Theresa Villiers, Shadow Secretary of State for Transport.

I had arranged for the campaigners to re-open Corsham train station to meet with her, alongside local councillors. Public transport in our mostly rural constituency is so important to help reduce our reliance of the car. I had already invited Network Rail to meet with councillors and campaigners last month, as well as Theresa, to ensure that Corsham Station remains front of mind.

Andrew Murrison, Shadow Minister for Defence, joined us at the Great Western Pub, Corsham with the campaign group to reopen Trowbridge Driving Test Centre.  This is another local campaign I fully support.  Andrew and I have worked on many initiatives over the 4 years I have lived in Chippenham.  We are keen to ensure a seamless transition if I am elected on May 6^th for his constituents who move to the new constituency of Chippenham at this election.

Thank you again to everyone who came out to help, if you would like to get involved or put up a poster please email wilfred4change@gmail.com
