THERE is a mood for political change in the Ribble Valley, claims Labour's prospective Parliamentary candidate Marcus Johnstone.
Mr Johnstone says the Labour victory in the by-election in the former Tory stronghold of South East Staffordshire recently spells trouble for the Conservative "safe" seat of Nigel Evans.
Mr Johnstone, who has been delighted with the response of his canvassing in the area over the last few days, said: "It is quite clear that there is a mood for change in the Ribble Valley and throughout the country.
"This is meant to be true-blue Tory territory yet we are getting a remarkable level of support."
