Chris Nicholson: Liberal Democrat candidate for Streatham, Clapham and Brixton

Chris Nicholson by 159 bus to Streatham

Local campaigner, Chris Nicholson

It's time for a change. Labour have taken the people who live in Streatham, Brixton and Clapham for granted.

I think our community deserves better. It deserves an MP who will speak up for people, not just do what they're told by Gordon Brown. And it deserves local Councillors who will work hard for the people they represent.

I have campaigned alongside local people for many years. I've been involved with campaigns to save local Police Stations, Post Offices and most recently to keep Streatham Ice Rink open. The Liberal Democrats are mounting a strong challenge to Labour in the Streatham constituency at this election. The Conservatives are out of the race.

By lending me your support, you can achieve real change for our area.
