Steve Gilbert chats to St Austell resident

Prospective MP Steve Gilbert is set to pick up a tradition first started by David Penhaligon in 1974 of taking a travelling "advice surgery" out to the smaller villages and hamlets across the new St Austell & Newquay constituency.

The Lib Dem candidate will visit over 60 towns, villages and smaller settlements in the last week of September in a 9am to 8pm six-day tour.

Steve said, "Matthew Taylor has been taking his travelling surgery out and about for over 20-years now but because his son Arthur is being treated for cancer he isn't able to do it this year.

"I already do a lot of advice surgeries in Newquay and St Austell and have recently stood in for Matthew Taylor for some that he hasn't been able to make. I know it's not always easy for people to get to our offices, so I'm going to go to them."
