Colchester campaigns with Labour Students
| |
Sunday 10 October 2009
Colchester’s Labour Candidate, Jordan Newell, joined Labour Students at the University of Essex for their year’s University Fresher’s’ Fair.
Local Labour Councillors Tim Young and Julie Young also joined members of the Labour Society’s executive for the all day event which was attended by hundreds of students who are starting courses at the university this year.
Speaking after the event, Jordan said:
“I’m always delighted to be at the university, and especially to meet other young people interested in politics. Max, Hannah and all the members of the Labour Society have worked really hard today and have been awarded by tripling their membership.”
Cllr Julie Young, who’s council ward covers the university, said:
“Labour Students at Essex University work really hard, all year round, for the student community both on and off campus. As a councillor representing a large part of Colchester's student population, I know how important their work is."
