Two well known and highly respected Bideford Councillors have joined the Conservatives and pledged their support for Geoffrey Cox.

Tony and Simon Inch were elected to both Bideford Town Council and Torridge District Council in 2007 as Liberal Democrats. They later resigned from the Liberal Democrat party and formed a Liberal Party group on Torridge District Council.

Tony Inch said: “Simon and I have always had a good

working relationship with Geoffrey.”

“We know how hard he works. He has always been friendly, approachable

and supportive. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you have a problem he

is your MP and that is all that counts.”

“We are both campaigning for Geoffrey to carry on being our MP. He is a

true local constituency MP who works for the whole community first and

foremost.”

Geoffrey Cox said: “I am proud to have won the support of Tony and Simon, whom

I greatly respect as really good servants of our community. Their

support shows that more and more people of traditional Liberal beliefs

are increasingly seeing the modern Conservative Party as a congenial

home.”
