Lib Dems pick PPC for Wrekin seat
March 9th, 2010
At a recent meeting, Wrekin & Telford Liberal Democrats approved councillor, David Murray, as their Wrekin candidate.
David moved to the West Midlands to work for GKN in 1986, and lives in the constituency. With a wealth of business experience in new product development, he is particularly concerned about the nationwide decline in manufacturing, and lack of investment in our future. The current situation is not helped by the bailed-out banks refusing loans to around half of commercial applicants.
