Labour - Up to their old tricks
Greg Stone has condemned the local Labour Party for "deliberately misleading staff at NetPark". Greg was speaking after he was told that NetPark "...were unable to accommodate ANY political parties during this by-election." Greg had planned to visit NetPark to discuss the future of the project. The proposed visit to NetPark could not go ahead as it was 'political'. The same had happened to the Conservative candidate but the site was then visited by the Labour candidate. Greg Stone has joined the Conservatives in saying that it was "...unacceptable" The Managing Director said that he was "unaware that the Labour Candidate would be there" and presumed that it was "just a Ministerial visit."
Greg said, "The Labour Party claim that 'John Hutton was there as John Hutton' - that is not what we have been told. It is clear that Labour have tried to bypass NetPark's strict rules but it has backfired. The adverse publicity created by Labour is not welcome - NetPark are victims of the Labour spin machine. Labour's claim that the visit was made in a private capacity is not the version of events we have been told by NetPark.
"There are so many positive messages at NetPark - it's good for jobs and also plays a leading role in our region. I think it is a real shame that Labour have been caught out trying to mislead NetPark and I hope that they will apologise to them for dragging their good name into the gutter. I utterly condemn this behaviour and hope that this is the last we will see during this campaign."
