Elisabeth Wilson and Lord David Shutt talking to a visitor in Shibden Park
Lord David Shutt, better known in Calderdale as a former councillor and popular mayor, was out with Halifax Liberal Dempcrat candidate Elisabeth Wilson and her supporters in Shibden Park on Monday Bank Holiday. This was the third walkabout, following Northowram and Sowerby Bridge on Saturday. Lord Shutt was pleased to meet old friends as well as new faces.
“Elisabeth is a candidate with a breadth of experience as a councillor, health authority member and school governor” said Lord Shutt. “She has proved herself as a very able campaigner previously and will be an excellent MP for Halifax.”
Elisabeth said: “It’s a great way to meet people and chat to them in an informal way. some people just say hello, and others want to ask more detailed questions about Lib Dem policies. The more they find out, the more impressed they are with our messages about fairness in tax, a fair start for children with extra money for schools, and fair approach to the economy and more green jobs, and of course cleaning up Parliament.
Lord Shutt is chief whip for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords.
