David Sumberg MEP 2 July, 2007

I received the very sad news that David Sumberg MEP will be standing down at the end of this term.

David was the MP for Bury South between 1983-1997, he twice visited Sedgley a ward in his old Constituency when I was the candidate, and I have never seen anyone so well received. He was by his own admission like myself not signed up to the European superstate so he will doubly lost.

I would like to thank him and his family for their hard work and forbearance and wish them all the best in whatever he goes on to.
