Lib Dems choose by-election candidate


Liberal Democrats in Gateshead have chosen Michael Ruddy as their candidate for the Dunston and Teams ward by-election which is to be held on Thursday 28th September.

Michael lives on the Race Course Estate at the bottom of Bensham Bank, in the Teams area of Gateshead.

“I am very pleased to have been chosen to stand for Dunston and Teams,” said Michael, who is a taxi driver. “We will be running a strong campaign in the ward.

Michael’s main campaign is to save Post Offices from closure following the decision by the Labour government to scrap the Post Office Card Account, used by pensioners to get their state pension through Post Office branches.

There are widespread fears that the loss of business caused by the decision will force many branches to close down.
