I READ in The Northern Echo comments from Labour and, more recently, from Ukip that the Conservatives do not seem bothered about the Parliamentary Constituency of Sedgefield (Echo, Mar 7).

I’m afraid I must correct both parties and tell you that I am standing in the seat for the Conservatives, and I do care for the area. I have been out working hard for the seat, and will keep working hard as I put maximum effort in.

If elected, I will as hard as I can for everyone in the constituency, and not segregate areas.

We see far too often those elected to represent us on our doorstep and in Parliament just turn and do everything for their personal position.

Well, I am in this to work for you. If elected, you will be employing me, so I will be working for you.

Scott Wood (Conservative), Sedgefield Parliamentary Candidate.
