Norma Tells
Tony "you're the best PM ever"
19 March 2007
One of Dunscroft's most dynamic citizens,
Norma Sturrock, had the chance to meet Prime Minister
Tony Blair this week and told him "Tony, you're
the best PM ever".
The Prime Minister met Mrs Sturrock,
who runs the St Lawrence Community Centre in Dunscroft,
at the Labour Party's Gala Dinner in Leeds.
Said Norma; "I have been looking
forward to this event for weeks, but I nearly fainted
when the Prime Minister walked up to me to say hello.
I told him straight "you're the best PM ever. Your
government has done wonders for older people, particularly
the free bus travel."
Speaking after their meeting Norma
said: "When I look at the new schools and health
centres being built in Doncaster, the thousands of new
jobs and the shortest NHS waiting times ever, I know
what a difference Tony Blair has made. And I remember
what a state the country was in ten years ago."
Mrs Sturrock also met Labour Party
Chair, Hazel Blears who attended as guest of Don Valley
MP Caroline Flint.
Hazel Blears said: "I know and
the Prime Minister knows that the Labour Party has come
this far because of the dedication of thousands of Labour
Party members who actively support us and take our message
into the community. Norma is one of those stalwart members."
Said Caroline Flint: "It
was great for Norma and other members to meet Tony Blair,
Hazel Blears and other politicians who are taking tough
decisions day in day out to make Britain a stronger,
prosperous country. Those of us who have the privilege
to serve in Government know it wouldn't happen without
people like Norma and the millions of people who want
us to do the best for the country."
