Sitting on a bench alongside Copperhouse Pool with Andrew George on a sunny March day I soon wonder whether this was the best place for a chat with the former MP as our conversation is halted every few moments as people pass by and greet him. While it may be coming up to six years since he lost his Parliamentary seat to Conservative Derek Thomas it is clear that he made an impression on people over the 18 years that he represented St Ives. And now he is looking to return to the political arena by standing for election to Cornwall Council, hoping to represent the people of Ludgvan, Madron, Gulval and Heamoor.
