Stephen Bates, Conservative Westminster candidate for Newcastle North, enjoyed a great time out campaigning in Great Park. Stephen Bates said "it was great to talk with local residents again on Great Park. I am very encouraged that the message is getting through to Conservative voters - and indeed to disillusioned Liberal voters - that the only way in the current political climate to free Newcastle North from the shackles of Ed Miliband's Labour Party, is to vote for the positive, progressive, modern Conservatism for which I stand, and to vote Stephen Bates on May 7th."
