News Release 2nd February 2007PARTY CONFERENCE COMES TO BIRMINGHAM!Michael Fabricant says: "I am seriously delighted that Birmingham will host the Annual Conservative Party Conference in October 2008 thrashing locations like Bournemouth, Brighton, and Blackpool which have always held it in the past. Way over 12,000 delegates, broadcasters, exhibiters, and observers attend the Conservative Conference which will help promote Birmingham and the surrounding area on the international map as the Conference is televised in locations as far afield as the United States and Australia. "As all types of accommodation are needed including B&Bs for many retired delegates, I anticipate that Lichfield will benefit greatly as our restaurants and hotels are an attractive alternative to Birmingham's inner city. I am praying for no leaves on the line next October as the cross-city train service will be the logical means of conveying visitors between Lichfield and Birmingham. "I shall be speaking to Lichfield's Tourism chiefs to determine how we can gain maximum benefit from this move. "As well as Birmingham, I hope that cities like Manchester will also host future Conservative Conferences. David Cameron's fresh approach to politics means that at long last a major political party has broken the bi-annual cycle of trips to the seaside in October for the party faithful. I have been pressing for this for some time. The midlands are accessible to all and make good sense. I am just amazed it has taken so long." |
