Elwyn Watkins - Parliamentary Spokesperson for Oldham East & Saddleworth

As Oldham East & Saddleworth Parliamentary Spokesperson I will be campaigning on behalf of local people.

Like many local people I am particularly concerned about crime - together with the Liberal Democrats I am campaigning for an extra 10,000 police on the street.

We are calling for a £700 tax cut to put money back into people's pockets.

I am also fighting for more jobs and investment in Oldham, Lees, Saddleworth, Royton, Shaw & Crompton.

To help with my campaign, ask a question or for more information please contact me at elwyn@elwynwatkins.co.uk. I can also be reached by phone or post - please see the contacts page.
