2 DAYS AND COUNTING!
Dear Resident,
Welcome to my election bulletin - just under 2 days to go 'til polling day on May 6th!
It's been a busy time at the hustings, but perhaps the most telling one of all was the Federation of Small Businesses debate where the Labour Party no-showed. Read all about it here.
It seems their National Insurance raising jobs tax is completely indefensible after all. Crewe and Nantwich needs new jobs, not a tax on jobs.
It's also great to have received the support of some notable local figures. One is Arthur Moran, a leading Nantwich independent councillor, and another is Darren Willetts, who actually put himself forward for the Labour parliamentary candidacy two years ago.
You should by now have received my election report. If you haven't got yours yet, you can click here to read it. It tells you exactly what I'm standing for.
I also wanted to remind you that my office will remain open for business throughout the campaign at 30 Victoria Street, Crewe CW1 2JE.
The telephone number remains 01270 501725 and you can email here.
With best wishes,
Edward Timpson

Conservative Candidate Edward Timpson Visits Home-Start Charity
Crewe and Nantwich Guardian
LOCAL Conservative candidate Edward Timpson was a guest speaker at Home-Start Central Cheshire’s recent Annual General Meeting.
The AGM was held the day before Mr Timpson ran the London Marathon raising more than £1,000 for the Crewe-based charity, which he is also a patron of.
Home-Start offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children in Crewe and Nantwich.
They aim to recruit and train volunteers who are usually parents themselves to visit families at home who have at least one child under five and offer them informal, friendly and confidential support.
During the event Home-Start told people how they had 139 new families in the last year, and recruited 65 new volunteers.
Mr Timpson met and talked to some of the volunteers and the families they were helping, to try to better understand the problems and issues affecting them, both on a local and national level.
Afterwards he said a few words to those present outlining his personal support for the charity’s work.
He said: “I share the ambition of Home-Start for them to play a more central role in the provision of children's and families' services.
“I will continue to work closely with them to ensure that all the expertise, experience and commitment that Home-Start volunteers bring to our community is given every opportunity to flourish.”

Edward Timpson quizzed at Ruskin
Crewe and Nantwich Chronicle
Crewe and Nantwich Conservative candidate Edward Timpson has been quizzed by pupils at Ruskin Sports and Languages College during a Q&A session during assembly. The former MP was put on the spot by years 10 and 11 in the college’s packed assembly hall. Though the pupils were preparing for GCSEs and cannot vote, they are holding a mock election at the college to coincide with the country’s general election. Mr Timpson gave a brief overview of what he and his party believed before taking questions on local and national issues. Topics covered included support for servicemen and women in Afghanistan, and how he hoped to improve the lives of teenagers and young people in Crewe and Nantwich. He said that having visited almost every school in the constituency he believed he had built up a fairly good picture of what life for young people was like in the constituency, and what needed to be improved. “Time and again I hear from young people in Crewe and Nantwich that they want more to do in their local area, and not have to go elsewhere.”
Afterwards Mr Timpson stopped to speak to some of the students, and paused for a photo with them on his way out. Speaking afterwards he said: “Trying to get young people interested and involved in politics is really important. I hope I’ve managed to hold people’s attention long enough to give them an idea of what I’m about, and I wish the College all the best with its mock election.”

Arthur Moran hits back
Crewe Blog
Nantwich Independent Cllr Arthur Moran has hit back at the claims by Mike Parsons carried on the blog last week (see here). Here's what he has said: “The Nantwich Independent Party was formed as a local party without a whip because we believed national politics was playing too big a part in local politics. We are all free to express our views as we see them. And my personal view is that Edward Timpson has done a good job as MP, working alongside us to achieve results such as reinstating the Nantwich First Responder. I’ve found his help first class and he’s a worthy candidate in this election.”

Crewe and Nantwich Chronicle
LOCAL Conservative candidate Edward Timpson has met with employees at Crewe’s Asda store to discuss the issues affecting them.
During a roundtable discussion, he gave his views on how politicians should be helping people in the current economic climate, and updated those present on the regeneration of Crewe town centre.
He told employees about the council’s masterplan for Crewe, and explained Tory plans for welfare reform, and getting people back to work.
Mr Timpson listened with interest to news of Asda’s management scheme, and how the shop tries to provide job security to its employees.
Mr Timpson said later: “We had a very interesting debate.ŠAsda’s one of the largest employers in the middle of Crewe, so the concerns of the people who work there are truly representative of the town.
“I hope I’ve reassured people about some local and national issues that they have raised.”

X-Factor comes to Crewe
Crewe Blog
Ok, no Simon Cowell, but pupils at King’s Grove School in Crewe went in front of a panel of judges on Thursday night in an X Factor-style talent competition. The sell-out show had been organised by pupils at the school, and included a raffle and cake sale alongside the main event. Crewe and Nantwich Conservative candidate Edward Timpson was part of the four person panel to decide which act went home with top prize – the opportunity to record their performance at MMU in Crewe. Acts included bands, street dancing, solo singers, and comedy performances – there was even a drag performance! After twenty minutes of deliberation the judges reached a unanimous verdict, and all the finalists were given a standing ovation before Jodie Keenan was awarded first place. Jodie, who had grown in confidence during her performance, then gave a roof-raising encore to the crowd.
Speaking afterwards Mr Timpson said: "King's Grove pupils did themselves and their school proud. The fact that it was pupils who devised, planned and ran the whole evening in such a professional way made it a really special evening. Those who took part in the contest showed what talent there is amongst our young people in Crewe. Judging is never easy, but it was a privilege to be asked to do it. Congratulations to all the acts and especially to Jodie Keenan who wowed both the judges and audience alike."

Former Labour member backs Nantwich Tory candidate
Nantwichnews
A former Labour party member who wanted to stand for Crewe and Nantwich, has revealed he is backing Conservative candidate Edward Timpson.
Darren Willetts stood to be the Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Crewe and Nantwich after their May 2008 by-election defeat.
But David Williams was selected as the candidate to contest the seat with Mr Timpson.
Mr Willetts, of Shavington, said: “I wanted to become Labour’s parliamentary candidate after the nasty Labour by-election campaign.
“Sadly, all I’ve seen from Labour in the local papers has been more of the same.
“Edward’s not like that though, and has really worked across political boundaries to achieve for his constituents.
“This time I’m voting for him, because like me he realises it’s about everyone, not just his own Party.”
All the main candidates for the seat took part in their own final debate at the Salvation Army Centre in Crewe last night.
It follows a similar debate last week at Nantwich Methodist Centre.
Mr Timpson, Mr Williams, Roy Wood (Lib Dem) and Mike Parsons (Independent), and James Clutton (UKIP) took part in the debate.

Crewe and Nantwich Labour candidate leaves voters furious after pulling out of debate
Crewe and Nantwich Chronicle
SMALL business owners and employers were left fuming last week when Crewe and Nantwich Labour candidate David Williams pulled out of a debate at the last minute.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) had arranged the Question Time-style meeting for its members to quiz the three main party candidates.
But while Conservatives’ Edward Timpson and Roy Wood of the Liberal Democrats made themselves available, Mr Williams pulled out, citing the need to attend to urgent paperwork.
FSB regional organiser Neil Dutton said: “Those attending were extremely disappointed to learn that Mr Williams had pulled out of the debate with just two hours notice before the event was due to start.
“When the average small business owner spends over seven hours a week filling in paperwork, much of which has been created by a Labour government, Mr Williams’ reason for cancelling his appearance leaves a very bitter taste.
“A show of hands at the start of our meeting indicated that a good majority of the audience were floating voters, as yet undecided on their choice of candidate.
“Labour has missed a golden opportunity to present its case to a sector which is vitally important to Crewe and Nantwich and to the country as a whole. Our members were appalled at his cancellation and will not be slow to tell their colleagues, employees and customers.”
The debate covered such topics as taxation, bureaucracy, finance and employment and was chaired by Potteries’ radio personality Sam Plank at the Ramada Encore hotel in Crewe.
Mr Williams later told the Chronicle: “I had a personal commitment that I had to see to and it was very regrettable that I could not be there.”

South Cheshire College students visit London for research project
Crewe and Nantwich Chronicle
SOUTH Cheshire College business students visited one of the busiest high streets in the UK in a research project for their course.
Students on the national diploma in business programme at the Dane Bank Avenue headed for London where they spent time finding out more about retail on the famous Oxford Street.
The group also had time during the day visit to do a walking tour of the city taking in Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and Downing Street.
They also headed to the Houses of Parliament in the afternoon where they enjoyed a tour of the House of Commons and Lords which was organised by Crewe and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson.
Course team leader Kirsty Valentine said: “The visit was extremely useful for the students because they were able to do some extensive research on one of the busiest shopping high streets in the country.
“Visits like these are an opportunity to see for themselves how things operate in the real wide, outside the classroom environment.”

Crewe recruitment firm bosses flag up tax risk to temporary workers
Crewe and Nantwich Chronicle
CREWE and Nantwich’s Tory Parliamentary candidate Edward Timpson visited a Crewe firm last week.
He heared about its campaign to raise local awareness of a tax pitfall which it says could have a serious knock-on effect on the town’s temporary labour market.
On the day that unemployment figures reached 2.5m in the UK, Mr Timpson met with the directors of family-run firm Absolute Recruitment UK Ltd to learn more about one negative impact of HMRC’s planned closure of a tax loophole.
Currently, via Umbrella Payroll Schemes, some temporary workers paid close to the minimum wage agree to be paid a lower hourly rate – which is then topped up with dubious travel expenses – so both the worker and the recruitment firms who employ them can legitimately pay lower tax and National Insurance (NI) contributions.
But during his visit to the company’s High Street offices, Mr Timpson heard how the fall-out following the closure of the loophole could see workers benefits such as holiday or maternity pay reduced.
In a worst case scenario, they fear the HMRC try and recover tax underpayments from workers.
Mr Timpson commented: “It’s a very complicated issue and I’m concerned that employees are not being given the full facts by some recruitment firms. I’m happy to see anyone at my surgery who wishes to discuss their worries about it with me.”
Absolute Recruitment’s joint MD Jessica Marshall said: “Our ‘Say No To Umbrella’s’ campaign flags up the gravity of the situation. We do not use an Umbrella Payroll Scheme and are very firmly against them. We’re glad that HMRC has recognised that there is a problem and has taken steps to address it. But I wish they could act faster as the longer it drags on before the loophole is closed, the more that temporary workers could unwittingly be storing up problems for themselves.”
Joint MD Dan Marshall added: “Our campaign is about raising awareness that this problem is on the horizon for hundreds of temporary workers in Crewe.
“The more notice workers have for making provisions when the loophole closes the better. Mr Timpson was very receptive to our ideas such as setting up surgeries for workers who may have concerns.
“He also suggested ways in which he could help and put Crewe firmly in the national spotlight into the bargain because it’s an important issue that needs championing.”

Taxing questions for parties
Edward Timpson, Crewe and Nantwich Chronicle
Only a week to go now, so I think it's right that in this issue we focus on the major dividing line for all three parties.
The choice the public makes on taxation at this election will have a huge impact on everyone on our society. There are many Conservative taxation policies I could highlight – cutting corporation tax and a council tax freeze amongst them – but I'll focus on just three.
Under the Conservatives only the very rich – the millionaires – will pay inheritance tax. This was a policy so popular with the public that Labour brought out a watered-down version almost instantly.
Labour talk about this policy in petty class-war terms. The fact is that inheritance tax is unfair; no one should be taxed twice, and money should be able to be passed on unhindered once a loved one has passed away to invest in property, small businesses, new jobs - and help pull the UK out of its current financial position. Freeing up this money benefits us all.
Secondly, we will reverse Labour's promised Jobs Tax - a crippling rise in national insurance - for everyone earning £35,000 a year or less.
This will have a direct impact on Crewe and Nantwich. Everyone knows that here, with unemployment levels much higher than when Labour came into government in 1997, we need new jobs.
Conservatives want to create jobs, not tax them.
Thirdly, and perhaps most unusually, bingo tax. Bingo is still taxed at an unfairly high rate, and the Chancellor has acknowledged this but not gone so far as to correct this travesty fully.
There are 20,000 of you in Crewe and Nantwich who enjoy socialising at Mecca Bingo, and I will continue to press on your behalf for a fairer deal.
Gordon Brown has been a taxation disaster for our part of Cheshire. The 10p tax was only the most famous fiasco. Don't give him 5 more years.

Independent candidate Mike Parsons sparks Nantwich row
The Nantwichnews Blog
Independent candidate Mike Parsons claims the reputation of Independents in Cheshire could be damaged by the recent actions of Nantwich First.
He spoke out after one or two Nantwich Independent councillors voiced their support for Tory candidate Edward Timpson.
Mr Parsons said: “The Nantwich Independents have come out in support of the Conservative Candidate Edward Timpson.
“One member has even been featured on his election literature.
“I am worried the public will begin to question the impartiality of genuine Independents.
“I want to stress that as the Independent Candidate for Crewe & Nantwich, I do not have any secret party allegiances.
“When I say that I am against the current system where party politics and the party whip prevail, I mean it. I will not say one thing and then do another.”
However, Nantwich Independent Cllr Arthur Moran hit back at the claims.
He told Nantwichnews: “The Nantwich Independent Party was formed as a local party without a whip because we believed national politics was playing too big a part in local politics.
“We are all free to express our views as we see them.
“And my personal view is that Edward Timpson has done a good job as MP, working alongside us to achieve results such as reinstating the Nantwich First Responder.

Conservative parliamentary candidate for Crewe and Nantwich Edward Timpson completes London Marathon
Crewe and Nantwich Chronicle
CONSERVATIVE parliamentary candidate for Crewe and Nantwich Edward Timpson completed his eighth London Marathon yesterday (Sunday).
He completed the race in 4 hours 26 minutes 40 seconds, better than the target he had set himself but just longer than last year, which was his fastest time in a decade!
Early worries that hot weather and high humidity would make the run more difficult than normal proved unfounded, with runners enjoying cooler temperatures and rain at the start.
"Running the marathon doesn’t get any easier but at least it wasn’t as hot in London as it was in Crewe and Nantwich last week," he said.
Mr Timpson was running the marathon to raise money for local charities Home Start Central Cheshire and Supported Community Business.
Crewe-based Home-Start is a voluntary organisation which has provided a lifeline for hundreds of troubled families for more than a decade.
Supported Community Business runs a workshop based on Crewe Gates industrial estate, which encourages people with special needs to explore the world of work and business.
Mr Timpson is a keen supporter of the work undertaken by the two charities and is a patron of both.
People can still donate by going to www.edwardtimpson.com/marathon or contacting one of the charities.
After the race Mr Timpson said: "I’m a naturally energetic person so I quite enjoyed the run, but what’s most important is the money raised for these two charities.
"I’ve seen first-hand the great work they do in Crewe and Nantwich and I’m very proud to have raised money on their behalf.
