Hello. Regarding the EU, I have always been pro-Remain and believe that although the EU isn’t perfect, we have much to lose by leaving and nothing to gain. The other questions are very specific and I’d be very happy to answer them by email, but I’d rather avoid turning this into a discussion on Brexit. Anyone is free to contact me on marplelabour@gmail.com
What’s clear to me is that Brexit has left our country more divided than ever, and the Conservative party are entirely to blame for the mess. I’ve spoken to hundreds of people during this campaign and whether they are in favour of Leave or Remain, the one consistent feeling is of frustration and disbelief that it has been handled so badly. People feel badly let down and trust in politics is surely at an all time low.
I share those frustrations and one of the reasons I have put myself forward this time is because there are so many issues that need action, at a local level, and we can still make a difference even if national politics seems to be stuck in inaction. I know that our community here in Marple is fantastic but there are still issues that affect us, and that’s why I’ve put together a plan to tackle those issues and make our area fairer, greener and safer. If elected on Thursday, I'm committed to working in collaboration with residents, community groups, schools and others to improve Marple North.
