Wera selected for Heywood and Middleton!

Popular Norden Councillor Wera Hobhouse has been selected by Heywood and Middleton Liberal Democrats to fight the next General Election. Wera, currently the Council's Portfolio Holder for Environment and Sustainability said, "I thank our growing Membership in Heywood and Middleton for backing me and the work starts from now. Due to Boundary Changes - Heywood and Middleton is now much more winnable for the Liberal Democrats and I have every confidence that the voters of Heywood and Middleton will back our positive campaign. In the local elections in May, we polled more votes that Labour in the Heywood Constituency. It is now my job to convert this into Parliamentary votes and I am excited at the prospect - This seat is there for the taking, the Liberal Democrats are determined to win it."

Prevention of ill-health is as important as a cure, but this measure alone will not be enough to defeat the obesity crisis facing Britain today. "More must also be done to get young people active. In a nation where 20% of children are overweight, far too many are driven short distances to school when they could walk or cycle.
