Nigel Swales
Reform UK candidate for North Meols & Hesketh Bank
Active on State
I am a local man, passionate about our local area and local people, that’s why I am a Parish Councillor. I will fight passionately for our area, ensuring issues such as the crumbling roads and flooding are addressed and ensure that our green belt land is protected. I am a HCPC registered Paramedic and work in the NHS as an Emergency Care Practitioner. I live in Up Holland with my wife, our children and dog. In my spare time I enjoy working on and using classic vehicles, holidays and listening to music. I am originally from Yorkshire, but moved over to Lancashire about ten years ago, Up Holland is the only place that feels like home.
