Bedford and Kempston’s Conservative Association have chosen a West Northamptonshire councillor as their prospective parliamentary candidate (PPC) for Bedford and Kempston.

She says she’s already been getting stuck into meeting Bedfordians and is honoured to have been selected.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to stand and represent Bedford and Kempston as a candidate for the Conservative Party,” Pinder said after her selection.
“I will work hard and will give all my efforts to reach and listen to as many residents across the constituency as possible,” said Pinder.
Conservative chairman for Bedford and Kempston, cllr Andrea Spice, added, “She [Pinder] has worked very hard meeting residents and building relationships with community groups amongst many other activities.
“She very much supported Mayor Tom in his campaign and has proved to be a good team player and leader.
“We know that after such a narrow defeat of 145 votes at the last General Election and with the success of the Conservative Mayoral election Bedford and Kempston is ready to return to having a Conservative MP and we are confident that Pinder is the person to make this change.
