Election's off, but Liberal Democrats in Devizes promise to keep on campaigning

LIBERAL Democrats in the Devizes Constituency have announced they will carry on with their local campaigning despite the decision of the Prime Minister not to hold an election this autumn.

Local Liberal Democrat campaigners have been delivering newsletters and calling on local residents throughout the summer and early autumn.

Wendy Johnson, at a meeting of members in Devizes said, "The Liberal Democrats are not just around when there is an election coming up. We campaign all year round.

"Gordon Brown ramped up expectation of an autumn election and only backed off when he realised his majority in Parliament would disappear.

"The Liberal Democrats in Devizes however are not disappearing. We will keep on campaigning. While the other parties close down for the winter following Mr Brown's announcement, the Liberal Democrats are already hard at work writing our next community newsletters to keep residents in touch with what is happening in Devizes, Marlborough and throughout the Constituency."
