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, Old 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 too 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.
