Jeremy Hunt arrives in Chelmsford on campaign trail to become UK's next Prime Minister

Tory leadership hopeful Jeremy Hunt has been out on the campaign trail in Chelmsford.

The man who would be PM used the walkabout to promote his plan to axe business rates for nine out of ten high street shops.

Should he make it to number 10, he hopes the plan will help revitalise the High Street.

Mr Hunt, who is due to face rival Boris Johnson in a leadership debate on ITV on July 9, was accompanied by the city's MP Vicky Ford.
