“I lived in the constituency for several years until recently when I moved nearby. I joined Reform UK because I believe we do not have a party for hard working people or pensioners. Labour and the Conservatives have successively funded their extravagant ideas via the taxation of hard-working families whilst failing to provide any value for money for the services they receive via their taxation. I previously worked in policing and currently work in finance.”

“I undertook two degrees one of which is in employment law which has given me a strong understanding of workers’ rights and unlike the Conservatives and Labour I am firmly in favour of a balance between business and trade unions neither holding excessive power which as we have seen with various strikes and poor employee benefits is not beneficial.”

“Why vote for me?”

“I will challenge excessive developments which many residents are concerned with - both Labour and the Conservatives have committed to continue with these due to excessive immigration and poor planning which they have no idea how to tackle.”

“The area needs growth and a fair system which is why I support a raise in the income tax threshold to £20,000 to benefit all workers.”

“Local policing - anti social behaviour is becoming an ever-dominant issue therefore we need more accountability - the devolution of the PCC Office to the Mayor has reduced the ability to tackle this head on. After previously working in policing, I understand the need for transparency and clear goals therefore I would challenge district commanders on this directly if resolutions are not found.”

“Finally personal issues - I would personally deal with any issues brought to my office by constituents and set out a plan of how I will tackle any issues raised with each individual.”

“I am new to politics; I have no desire to be a politician for the entirety of my career but I do believe it is vital that I have some input now. Career politicians have failed to represent the public for far too long, the public sector and its inefficiencies are costing tax payers excessively however I have come from businesses where innovation and value for money is key which is why I believe I could make a difference.”
