PRAISE for “our superb new MP” Matt Warman came at Skegness Conservative Branch’s AGM. Chairman Cllr Carl Macey reported on the “fabulous” success at the General Election when new candidate Mr Warman won the Boston and Skegness seat.
He added: “Since his election Matt has certainly hit the ground running and shown all within the Constituency his passion for the area he represents.”
Nationally, by giving the Conservatives an outright majority, the voters had made the only decision they could to keep the country moving forward in a positive way, said Cllr Macey.
Locally, the Conservatives had achieved great success, gaining overall control of East Lindsey District Council, and winning all eight seats they fought on Skegness Town Council.
