That's why I was delighted to invite him and his son Gavin to join me at a special reception in 10 Downing Street this evening to celebrate their achievements, and to say a big thank you on behalf of everyone they've helped in Warrington South.
"My congratulations to Dave for his tireless work and campaigning which has had such a positive impact on on so many people in Warrington and around the world. He's a fantastic community champion and an inspiration to so many others."
