The Southport Party Announce

► This year we are not standing in the local elections, this year we are putting up a Parliamentary candidate to fight for our freedom.

► The reason for this is the way Southport has been treated by our South Sefton rulers.

► We see our beautiful Town deteriorating quickly and shops closing, this can only mean job losses.

► We now need to be free of Sefton and take responsibility for our own town and the money generated within it. We began this in March 2013, now the other party's are following our lead. Since our formation in 2002 this has been our policy, we have been proved correct.

► To do this we need your support, your vote will also act as a referendum and a statement that we want our boundaries changed; others have had 41 years and achieved nothing.

► Travel passes will be retained, parking regime tamed and services reclaimed.

► Forget the rest and vote the best Jacqueline Barlow
