ELECTION LATEST: It's so close
Elections in Chelmsford are a close fight between the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives

How people vote in closely fought constituencies like here in Chelmsford will decide the result of the upcoming General Election.

Labour can't beat the Tories in Chelmsford.
Lib Dem or Conservative here

No other result is possible here.
