Leader of Harborough District Council picked as Lib Dem general election candidate

Congratulations to my old friend Phil Knowles, who has been chosen to fight the Harborough, Oadby and Wigston constituency at this year's general election.

Phil is the leader of the Liberal, Labour and Green coalition that took control of Harborough District Council from the Tories last May. 

Last week the council announced a freeze in the amount of council tax it will charge residents in the new financial year.

Phil stood for the neighbouring South Leicestershire constituency at the last general election.
