Labour Candidate Donald Worsley took cold comfort from the opening of Labour campaigning in Shepway last Saturday.
Mr Worsley was disappointed that few Labour members turned out to help, but was positive about the reaction from members of the public.
Speaking to FUTS, Mr Worley said; ‘it was a bitterly cold day with leaflets blowing everywhere in the wind.
‘The main concerns expressed were the need for jobs and the need to protect the NHS. Given Shepway is a deprived ward we should be more successful here. We need to rebuild a Labour presence in Shepway.’
Labour are currently languishing in third for the seat and do not have any councillors sitting on District and Town councils.
Mr Worsley hopes to improve on previous Labour performances. In 2005 Labour polled only 12.5% of votes.
However, without an internet presence or a reliable party membership to call upon it is uncertain that he will be able to do this.
