A political party has apologised for distributing election leaflets printed with templated campaign promises.
The pamphlet urged voters in West Northamptonshire to vote Conservative so that we can [insert prominent local pledges here, eg save our libraries] .
Library campaigners called the error farcical , given the Tory-run county council had previously drawn up plans to axe 21 library branches.
The Conservatives apologised for any confusion or distress caused.
The leaflet, published in the Silverstone ward of the new unitary authority, was roundly criticised by other political parties.
