Your British National Party Candidate

Introducing David Edwards . . .

David Edwards (BSc.) is a civil engineer, born and bred in Burnley.

David is a very keen sportsman, he cycled from Jon O'Groats to Lands End in 1991 to help raise funds for the Special Care Baby Unit at Burnley General Hospital.

David is standing because he feels that no one is taking responsibility for the town.

"Economically, Burnley should be doing better. There's not enough being done to attract new business to the town. Burnley should be a boom town, with its close proximity to Manchester, excellent transport links, yet still within a rural setting. House prices should be going up and industry should be wanting to locate here. But the opposite is happening and we need to find out why."
