Just think of all that dosh and all that quality leisure time!

I think that is a big point as far as I am concerned. A local candidate able to work for Hyndburn and Haslingden for 22 weeks full time is important. I have a 15 week old daughter who is smiling every morning and I want to be with her. This is a big personal decision for me considering the requests, especially by ordinary residents, to stand.
