Scott Collins Parliamentary Candidate for South Northamptonshire

Dear Friends & Colleagues

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for South Northamptonshire. I was selected to be the candidate by the local Liberal Democrat party in August 2008.

Having lived in the constituency for 34 years until 2005 I feel that this gives me a great insight into the issues effecting the residents of South Northants. The constituency extends from East and West Hunsbury and Upton in one corner to Roade, Stony Stratford, Deanshanger, Brackley, Towcester and then back to Upton. I believe for all its beauty the area has some very real issue about social exclusion through a lack of services, opportunites, housing and transport. All of these are serious issues for far to many residents of the constitiuency and I shall be working hard to change that situation.

Please have a look around my site and do send me an email or telephone if you have any questions or if you would like to get more involved with the Liberal Democrats in South Northamptonshire.

VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT IF YOU WANT SEE SUCESS AND CHANGE FOR THE BETTER IN SOUTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Thanks again for visiting. I hope to see you soon.

Scott

Quotes of the Week

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain."

Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy."

Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
