James Gardner and Cllr Keith Francis want to improve traffic management in Chelmsford town centre

James Gardner has pledged to stand up for Old Moulsham and the town centre if elected as the local councillor in the 14th December by-election. James is the ONLY candidate standing who lives in the area (and he works there too).

James stood for the ward in May's elections, coming a close second to the Conservatives. This by-election will be closely fought between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives. The Lib Dems were just 183 votes behind the Conservatives in May.

Commented Chelmsford's Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate Stephen Robinson, "The Lib Dems comfortably overturned a Conservative majority of 873 in Broomfield on 11th September so we are looking forward to this contest too."
