MEP takes Institute of Advanced Motorists Assessment

I first heard of the IAM after entering a Woman Driver of the Year competition arranged by the IAM and the Women's Institute in the 1993. I won the Western region heat and came thirteenth in the national finals. If I was able to do that, I thought, why not take the official test? I went on to have four observation runs in my Volvo estate with a local police officer, Dave Cherrington of Thames Valley police. It is very important to me to keep up my driving skills. Since I was elected as a Member of the European Parliament for South East England last year, I've had less time to drive, so I work hard to guard against bad habits creeping in!

Lib Dems win again in Calne Lickhill

Michelle Pearce was elected to Calne Town Council in the by-election on 21 January with a stunning 81% of the votes cast, beating her UKIP opponent by 331 votes to 79. The Conservatives failed to put up a candidate for the seat they won in 2007. Michelle's is the third victory in two years in Calne Lickhill. She joins Glenis Ansell and Chris Dobbie representing the ward for the Liberal Democrats. Commenting on her win, would-be Lib Dem MP Mike Evemy said 'It's a great boost for the Lib Dems in Calne just months before the General Election.'
