Tomorrow is polling day for the Ingleby Barwick West by-election. Kelvin Mirfin, the excellent Conservative candidate, has been working hard and meeting hundreds of residents over the course of the campaign. I am backing Kelvin’s campaign as I believe he is the right person to take Ingleby Barwick forward.
However residents choose to vote I hope that turnout will not be as low as seen in recent by elections in the area. Of course, this is not helped by the actions of some local parties and I have had reports of some rather unpelasant campaign tactics being used on the doorstep. Still, Kelvin has set out a positive platform, sticking to the truth and focusing on what he would do for the community. Let’s hope he is successful!
