My background was devoid of hope and aspiration but I was fortunate to be given opportunities allowing me to build up a successful business and create jobs and opportunities for others. I’m not a career politician, but my life’s experience of injustice has given me a fire in the belly to help others.

Where I live in Chippenham, every day I see the burdens placed on us all. I pledge I will be a strong voice for you in Parliament, fighting to improve our local services and keeping our open spaces. I will work hard to protect the NHS, champion our Town Centres and make it easy for local business to ply their trade.

The greatest honour I could be given is to be trusted with the things we all hold dear to our hearts, the chance to make a better tomorrow, and for that, we need change.

“I understand that during your campaigning, you have been telling your audiences that the number of houses to be built in Chippenham, and their location, has been determined by the Conservative administration in Wiltshire council.

We are all aware that Liberal Democrat candidates, at election times, distort policy, ignore facts and become economical with the truth, but I am surprised that you have sunk to this level of deceit.

You know perfectly well that the proposed number of houses to be built in Chippenham is a requirement of the present government and that the council has not yet given their recommendation as to the locality in which they will be built. You also know, from your attendance at council meetings, that we have consulted with residents and, following their submissions, intend to consult further before any proposal is put forward for public inspection. And you also know that the whole exercise will be abolished in the event of a Conservative government following the election and greater power given to local authorities and local residents in these matters.

Perhaps in these last days of electioneering, you will adopt a policy of greater integrity and stick to facts rather than fiction and discontinue misleading the public for personal gain.”

This follows the ongoing work between myself and Wiltshire Council to ensure the views of Chippenham residents are heard.

The Government is proposing to remove the British Forces Post Office from mainland Europe. Amongst other things, this will mean that all free post (under 2kgs) to British Forces personnel and their families, who are deployed in Europe, will stop. Please sign the petition to keep the British Forces Post Office from closing.

Please forward this on and on and on…….
