My ambition is to:

1) Ensure government policies recognise the specific needs of our dispersed rural communities and towns.

2) Ensure the values of common sense, fairness and caring underpin national politics and policies.

Sadly UK politics has deteriorated to a level many of us could not have imagined.

Unfair policies combined with appalling incompetence in delivery has resulted in families struggling, businesses struggling and an increase in polarisation and intolerance in society. All this is bad for our future well-being.
