Lesley Rolling's Parliamentary Candidate Adoption Evening in Gainsborough
Thursday evening, Lesley Rollings invited members and supporters to a Parliamentary Candidate Adoption Evening in Gainsborough. Lesley and the Gainsborough Liberal Democrats were really happy to see so many new people participating.
Lesley made a speech where she demonstrated the need to reenergise our town centres and local communities. She explained how the conservative district council has been investing millions outside the constituency instead of investing right here. Then her speech was followed by Questions and Answers from members and supporters.
Our supporters and members said: "It was a delight to be able to attend. Good Luck Lesley!" and "Really good to meet our @Gainsborough_LD Parliamentary candidate @rollings_lesley this evening!"
