A COUNTY councillor from Tewkesbury has been chosen to represent the Liberal Democrat party in the Cotswolds for the forthcoming general election.

Mike Collins, 46, will oppose Cotswold MP Conservative Geoffrey Clifton-Brown who has held the seat for the last 17 years.

Mr Collins, who has three children and works for Airbus, was chosen to fight for the Cotswolds seat after he was backed by 80 percent of Lib Dem members at a recent meeting.

"It's time for a change, so I pledge to the people of the Cotswolds that I will do my best to represent them in a fair and honest way," he said.
