[edit]When I'm not at uni, I live in Hugglescote in North West Leicestershire so I created this article as there were blank links to the North West Leicestershire District Council elections of 1999, 2003 and 2007 in this article.
Between 2010 and 2013, I attended the University of the West of England on the outskirts of Bristol. The uni is technically in the South Gloucestershire unitary authority area and I so worked on improving this article on the 1999 local election and creating one for the 2003 election. Data for both elections can be found here.
I also created this article on Andrew Bridgen who was elected to serve as an MP for my home constituency of North West Leicestershire at the 2010 general election.
