Yorkshire & the Humber Liberal Democrat MEP, Diana Wallis, supports the party's local candidate, Steve Scutt, ahead of Thursday's by-election in the Wickersley and Bramley ward in Rotherham.
Diana said:
"The BNP won their first ever seats on Rotherham Council in May and it is important that Liberal Democrats do not allow them the opportunity to build on that base."
