I'm Labour's candidate for South Derbyshire, following in the footsteps of Mark Todd MP.
I've been helping in South Derbyshire since 1992, both at General Elections and at by-elections in Melbourne (2000), Hilton (2005) and Church Gresley (2007).
I'm a Nottingham City Councillor, having retained the Mapperley ward in 2007's elections for the sixth time. (The ward once covered the 3rd most Tory part of Nottingham City.)
The pressure was on us in 2007. And I hope the stories conveyed during the campaign period were of interest.
I use this blog to tell stories of general political interest.
The latest Tory leaflet ties health and dentistry together in its survey and by citing some national figures on the issue.
Now, you might expect that discussion of the NHS would not be tied to one particular aspect.
Nevertheless, the provision of NHS dentistry has been an issue in the past.
However, canvass returns and other feedback suggest concern about the availability of NHS dentists has fallen considerably from 2 years ago.
This follows the provision of practices in Woodville and Swadlincote Health Centre.
