The people there are quite close the Wales and will be aware of the extra services the Welsh Assembly provide.
Congratulations on the election results and the FEP section on the Forum.

On reflection, I'm inclined to agree about Crewe being a better bet. Labour is on the ropes and voters there will welcome an opportunity to wreak more revenge not only about the 10% tax rate, higher energy etc costs, but the huge extent to which Crewe in particular has been affected by the influx of thousands of Poles changing the character of the town.
The situation in Henley is almost a mirror opposite politically and, with the Conservatives triumphant after the London Mayor elections, the Tory vote can be expected to be on a high as yet another way of sending a 'shove off' message to Gordon Brown!
