Seyi Agboola

Labour candidate for Binley and Willenhall

Labour

Seyi, currently a local councillor in Coventry and the deputy cabinet member for Housing and Communities, brings first-hand experience of the challenges faced by struggling families in Warwickshire and the West Midlands. Seyi said "I recognise the urgent need for rebuilding our public services after 14 years of Tory chaos. This will be my number one priority. I'm an advocate for the NHS but it requires reform to enable people to see their GP and cut waiting times for care. Stratford also needs truly affordable housing; not just building that 'lines the pockets' of developers. However, it desperately needs the infrastructure that underpins a prosperous society and supports first time buyers to own their own home. That is what residents have been telling me and my team on the doorstep in the last year. Stratford needs to become not just a place for tourism, important though this is. It also needs to sustain a community that can thrive and regain its pride and self-confidence." Dedicated to public service throughout his career, Seyi believes that Stratford deserves a committed full-time MP who can bring improvement. Seyi said "I pledge to champion the voices of communities across Stratford-on-Avon in Parliament." Vote for an MP with a voice into the heart of government. Vote Labour
