Update from the campaign trail – 3rd May
One of Jackie's teams of campaigners out canvassing in Netherton
As we enter the final week of the election campaign that the campaign to re-elect Jackie Grunsell as councillor for Crosland Moor and Netherton, it is clear that Jackie and her campaign team have spoken to far more people than all the other parties put together, as is shown by the other 2000 people who have pledged to vote for Jackie on election day. Yet we are not content to rest until we have secured Jackie’s re-election to Kirklees Council, so we will be out with stalls around the ward and in town and speaking again to our supporters on the doorstep.
In the last week we also held an election rally at Moorend High School which was the biggest meeting we’ve held in the ward since the 2006 campaign that saw Jackie elected to the council. The audience was overwhelmingly young and they heard Jackie and Greg Maughan from the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition nationally speak about the need to have fighting representatives like Jackie on the council. One young woman who attended the meeting told us that “its great to hear someone like Jackie who’s actually prepared to stand up for ordinary people.”
If you’d like to join us out on the streets over the last few days of the election campaign then please ring/text Ben on 07837803652.
