William Hague MP visited Kidderminster today to help with the local campaign. William, who will be Foreign Secretary should Conservatives win the general election, came to Wyre Forest to support Mark Garnier's local campaign. With the market full of shoppers, despite the cold weather, William and Mark were well received.

With the campaign in full swing, the first day of the second week was no less hectic! Mark started the day by addressing a meeting of the CWC at Kidderminster Golf Club, where 80 local ladies listened to reports of progress on the campaign. This was followed by a visit to the Nightingales care home in Wolverley and then the day was rounded off with door knocking in Offmore and Comberton.

Some of the Conservative team gathered together in Kidderminster to spread the word amongst shoppers at the town centre market. The mood on the street is definitely one of 'change'. After years and years of Labour's broken promises and chronic mismanagement of the economy, there is a real sense of anticipation.

Today, Gordon Brown finally called for the dissolution of Parliament and has named the date for the general election: 6^th May. Preparations have been in place for months and the Conservative team have spent the day getting out the first of the posters, delivering the first election literature to voters, and knocking doors across Wyre Forest.
