David Kendall, Liberal Democrat challenger in Brentwood & Ongar has welcomed the poll in today's Brentwood Gazette which shows the Liberal Democrats a strong second to Conservative Eric Pickles but says the only poll that really matters is the one on Thursday.
Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg has today launched 'My Personal Guarantee', a pledge that will run in leaflets and newspaper advertisements ahead of polling day.
"We have identified an extra £2.5bn for our schools, fully funded by cuts elsewhere in government," the Liberal Democrat Leader said.
