North West Leicestershire District Council elections, 1995, 2003, 2007 and 2011 edit

When I'm not at uni, I live in Hugglescote in North West Leicestershire so I created this article as there were blank links to the North West Leicestershire District Council elections of 1999, 2003 and 2007 in this article.

South Gloucestershire Council elections, 1999 and 2003 edit

Between 2010 and 2013, I attended the University of the West of England on the outskirts of Bristol. The uni is technically in the South Gloucestershire unitary authority area and I so worked on improving this article on the 1999 local election and creating one for the 2003 election. Data for both elections can be found here.

Andrew Bridgen edit

I also created this article on Andrew Bridgen who was elected to serve as an MP for my home constituency of North West Leicestershire at the 2010 general election.
