There are ‘signs’ that the local fight to become the next Montgomeryshire MP has turned nasty.
Glyn Davies, the Conservative candidate, has hit out at what he claims to be a local campaign to pull down his party’s poster boards, saying the culprits are doing it “under cover of darkness” and accusing them of being “cowardly”.
All six main parties in Wales are running with Mr Davies hoping to hold onto the seat that he won from the Liberal Democrats at the last election.
“I am a bit disappointed by the local campaign in Montgomeryshire to pull down Conservative poster boards,” he said. “We've had around 50 removed already. I'm not sure they make much difference to what voters decide, but they add a bit of awareness and colour.
“It’s a shame for the party volunteers who help us do this through raising the funds to buy the posters and the trouble to put them up. Should add that all Conservative posters are on private land (as they legally should be) and there at the request of property owner.
“All under cover of darkness. So cowardly. Takes all sorts I suppose.”
The General Election takes place on May 7.
