David Cameron Launches Election Battle Bus In Hazel Grove
Posted on the 25th July 2009
On Thursday, David Cameron visited the Hazel Grove constituency in support of its Prospective Conservative MP, Annesley Abercorn. He was greeted by Conservative activists at High Lane Conservative Club who invited him to climb on board Annesley’s battle bus – a 1960s Routemaster double decker.
David Cameron officially launched the bus and cut a ribbon that went across the entrance to the open rear platform vehicle. He said, ”I’m supporting Annesley, he’s a first class candidate who’ll work really hard for local people, it’s great to be here supporting his campaign and he has this great campaign bus. He’s going to be using that to get out and meet with local people to listen to their issues, their problems, to work well for them, in this coming election. He will make an excellent MP.” He then went inside the lower deck and had a chat with local Conservative activists.
Prospective Conservative MP for Hazel Grove said, ”Its a tremendous honour for me to welcome David to Hazel Grove. I have been meeting thousands of people on doorsteps locally over the last 18 months and there is a real desire for change in Hazel Grove and for our country. The only alternative to this Labour Government is David Cameron’s Conservatives. David’s support for my campaign demonstrates that the Conservative Party is determined for Hazel Grove to return to the Conservatives once again at the next General Election.’ .

Annesley Abercorn Takes Part In The Hazel Grove Carnival And Crowns The Carnival Queens
Posted on the 16th July 2009
Last weekend, Prospective Conservative MP for Hazel Grove took part in the Hazel Grove Carnival with his big red double decker ‘Routemaster’ Bus which paraded through the streets of Hazel Grove. Annesley’s bus was popular with local people. A lot of them were waving at Annesley as he was hanging off the open rear platform vehicle as it paraded slowly down the A6. Annesley said, ”Regardless of people’s political viewpoint, loads of residents enjoyed seeing my Routemaster go down the streets of Hazel Grove. The bus always brings a smile to people’s faces – young and old because it is just such a distinctive British icon like Big Ben or the old red telephone box.”
Annesley said,”The Hazel Grove Carnival is a great example of the local community pulling together to put on such a fantastic event. I thoroughly enjoyed it and met lots of people who put a lot of effort into making the day a huge success.” Annesley later crowned the Hazel Grove Carnival Queens; he paid tribute to the Carnival Queens ‘who did Hazel Grove proud with such elegance and grace’ and the organisers for their .hard work and commitment. Annesley added, ”I was glad that Hazel Grove Conservatives could give a small contribution to a wonderful day.” .

Annesley added ‘’No furniture, no food, no treats, no communications allowance, no John Lewis. That is my pledge to the people of Hazel Grove if I get elected.’’
*Under House of Commons rules, MPs can claim up to £24,000 per year for a second home and up to £10,000 per year to send out glossy MP newsletters to local people. Annesley will not claim a penny from these allowances if elected. .
