LOCAL CONSERVATIVE COUNCILLOR TURNS HER BACK ON SOUTHFIELDS RESIDENTS

The local Liberal Democrat team was shocked to discover that a Southfields Tory councillor has abandoned local residents.

Lucy Allan recently campaigned to become the Conservative parliamentary candidate for the east London constituency of Poplar & Limehouse. In her campaign literature she wrote: “My strength is being able to commit fulltime to Poplar & Limehouse. It takes time to build trust ... I have that time.” She was elected to represent Southfields just over a year ago, but she clearly sees being a local councillor as nothing more than a stepping stone to becoming an MP.

Local Lib Dem Adam Towner said: “This is shocking opportunism. She was elected to represent local residents, not as a step on her political career ladder!”
