Chorley candidate stands down because of ill health

From the Chorley Conservatives' website: "In a letter delivered today, Chorley Conservatives members have learnt that Alf Doran has decided to step down as the Conservative’s Parliamentary Candidate for Chorley on health grounds.   He was selected by local Conservatives in July last year. Alf Doran had to retire from the Police service having been involved in a motorcycle accident in the early 1990’s; from this further medical attention is now required. Because of the unpredictability of the timing of the future treatment with extended convalescence, Alf has considered that his treatment would harm the prospects of an effective election campaign here in Chorley."

Mr Doran beat Gregor MacGregor, Thelma Matuk and Mary Robinson in July 2007.
