Day two of the General Election campaign proper and, after an excellent start yesterday, we had another huge lift at lunchtime today with the arrival of Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling.
Following David Cameron's visit to Yorkshire last night, Chris was spending the day here including a stop off at the Worth Valley Police and Community Contact Point in Haworth.
And it was excellent to have him here in Keighley and Ilkley so he could see for himself what can be achieved when the community comes together to combat criminal activity.
But the efforts of local volunteers and partners should not take away from the fact that, over the last 13 years of Labour Government, police officers have been forced to spend 50 per cent more time doing paperwork than out on patrol.
Thankfully, a Conservative Government will ensure that the police are allowed to get away from their desks and back out on our streets tackling crime.
