Andrew Duffield, the Liberal Democrat candidate for Hexham, has opened a new campaign office on Watling Street in Corbridge in readiness for the General Election.

Cutting the ribbon at the opening ceremony, Lib Dem MEP for the North East, Fiona Hall, said: "Andrew is making great strides in ensuring voters can access our message of fairness and change. Hexham is clearly a winnable prospect for the Liberal Democrats."

Andrew Duffield said: "I am delighted with our new HQ. Constituents are welcome to visit, learn more about our policies over a coffee and perhaps even help us campaign for the real change we need - locally as well as nationally."

The Lib Dem Election Office is now open on Monday, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm. Andrew Duffield can be contacted at any time through the office number, 01434 632309, or via the local party website at www.hexhamlibdems.org.uk.
