CONSERVATIVE by-election candidate Edward Timpson has slammed PM Gordon Brown's refusal to visit Crewe and Nantwich.

The Prime Minister confirmed earlier this week that he would not be visiting the area in the run up to the by-election.

Commenting on the decision, Mr Timpson said: "This is further proof that Gordon Brown is taking Crewe and Nantwich for granted.

"Despite clobbering thousands of low-paid families by abolishing the 10p tax rate, he is ignoring people's concerns and refusing to listen.

"Only by voting Conservative on May 22 can people in Crewe and Nantwich send a message to Gordon Brown to get him to sit up and listen."
