Matthew Beattie
Reform UK candidate for Cranbrook, Sissinghurst & Frittenden
I have proudly called Cranbrook home for 35 years and I am standing as your Reform UK candidate. I have worked in the hospitality industry for twenty years and have an MA in Music. I run a multi-award-winning kitchen in the town, so understand the pressures facing local people and businesses. I will stand up for families and farmers, cut needless red tape and waste, back policies that support local businesses and help them thrive, push for lower costs, fight overdevelopment, and always put local people first. If you want change, vote Reform UK!
