Weekend of Campaigning in Bramingham with Justine Greening MP
Sunday, February 07, 2010

A fifteen-strong campaign team spent this weekend canvassing in Bramingham with the wonderful assistance and support Justine Greening MP.

Justine really enjoyed meeting local people and understanding the concerns affecting Lutonians.

We managed to cover half of the ward - knocking on thousands of doors and talking to hundreds of local residents about local concerns... and if we didn't catch you today, then hopefully we will very soon as we will be out most days between now and the election!

Fear of Crime is Priority to Address: My letter to the L&D Express
Wednesday, January 20, 2010

 

Dear Sir,

 

I am delighted that longstanding Conservative Councillor Michael Garrett has been chosen to head up the Fear of Crime task and finish group at Luton Borough Council.

 

There is no greater priority for Luton than to examine what can be done to reduce the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour in the town. Indeed, the results of a recent survey which Luton Conservatives sent out to thousands of homes in Luton, shows that issues concerning crime and safety are the number one concern of local residents.

 

I know from attending Safer Neighbourhood Forums and discussions with local police that actual crime figures in Luton are heading in the right direction. However, we need to find ways of helping this translate into public confidence and a restored sense of civic pride.

 

Ultimately, I am sure the answers can be found in our community with everyone playing a part, including voluntary organisations, community partnerships and religious groups. I greatly look forward to the Fear of Crime task and finish group drawing all this into a cohesive plan for the future that we can all act upon.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Jeremy Brier

 

Station Road, Toddington, LU5.

 

Prospective MP for Luton North

ERIC PICKLES LAUNCHES GENERAL ELECTION YEAR CAMPAIGN RIGHT HERE IN LUTON!
Monday, January 04, 2010

The Chairman of the Conservative Party, Eric Pickles, visited Luton this morning to launch our General Election Year Campaign.

He unveiled the striking advert below on Dunstable Road, to much local and national media interest.

"Luton North and Luton South are two seats we have to win," said Mr. Pickles.

Currently, both seats are a direct head-to-head fight with Labour.

But the bookies put us ahead: see here.
