We asked General Election candidate Sam Harper-Wallis (Liberal Democrats) your questions – here’s their candidate profile which answers them.
Candidates may be providing answers before the publication of their party’s manifesto. Therefore, things may develop or be updated after these have been published.
Candidate Details:
- Constituency: Stone, Great Wryley and Penkridge
- Which city/town/village do you live in? : Penkridge
- Is it within the constituency boundary of the new seat? (If no, please advise whether you intend to move within the constituency and if so in what timeframe) : Yes
Personal Background :
I grew up in the West Midlands, in Stourbridge. My mother is a teacher and my Dad works in IT. I went to school in Wolverhampton and moved to Manchester for University where I studied Cellular Molecular Biology.
After my degree I started a career in tech. I have been working in digital agencies and consultancies building digital products for nearly 9 years. I am currently a Technical Project manager at an AI consultancy.
I moved back to the West Midlands 7 years ago. 3 years ago I bought my first house with my now wife Hannah and we have recently had our first daughter Lyra.
Lyra is the reason I originally got into local politics, I knew that I was going to raise my family here and so I wanted to make sure that my kids live in a happy thriving community.
I am passionate about cooking and cook all the meals at home. I love a good ale and a long family walk with my dog Charlie. My favourite film is Spirited Away, My favourite band is Vulfpeck (Funk) though I do love Motown and I have a slight obsession with flags of the world. Oh and I have Dyslexia so please mind my spelling.
Political Background :
I was elected as a District Councillor and parish councillor in May 2023, during that time I have learned a great deal about local government and getting things done.
I am adept in planning law and legislation as a result of my training and as part of my role on the council’s planning committee.
I am a strong believer that anyone can make a difference to their community, not just elected officials.
Some of the biggest changes in our community have been grassroots initiatives led by hard working local champions.
Candidate Question:
The new constituency seat is geographically extensive. If you are elected as our MP, how will
you ensure that the town of Stone gets the representation it needs?
I am no stranger to Stone, I live just 25 minutes away. My wife and I are often found in Proven Pizza, our favourite restaurant and then we go for a pint at the Royal Exchange.
I will hold surgeries every month in Stone as well as the other villages of the constituency.
I will switch the location of my office from Penkridge to Stone and vice versa each year.
How will you keep in touch with Stone residents if you are elected as our MP?
The constituents I currently represent have my phone number and direct email address.
They know where I live and know they can stop me in the street any time to discuss an issue. This will not change when I become a MP.
The Liberal Democrats love our local Newsletters (we call it FOCUS). I will ensure each household in Stone as all other villages in our constituency receive one of these every quarter so that they can stay up to date with my agenda and the things that I am focusing on.
Why are you standing to be our MP?
I am standing to be an MP because I am deeply committed to building a better future for my daughter Lyra and for all our children. When Hannah and I welcomed Lyra into our lives, I realised that my desire for a happy, thriving community wasn’t just a personal goal—it was a responsibility. I want Lyra to grow up in a world where opportunities are abundant, communities are strong, and everyone has a voice.
I believe power belongs in the hands of local communities who are best positioned to make choices about their own towns and villages. Decisions that affect our daily lives are made by those who are far removed from our local reality.
Local communities have the insight and passion to drive positive change. They know what works best for their schools, their healthcare, their environment, and their economy. By bringing power back to our towns and villages, we can create tailored solutions that truly benefit everyone.
I want to be an MP who listens to and advocates for local voices. I believe in a future where our community’s ideas and initiatives lead the way. I believe I can contribute in creating a better, brighter future for Lyra and for all our children.
How will you address the lack of NHS services in the area? Currently, no local dentists are taking on adult NHS patients, and waiting times for doctors are often measured in weeks – not days.
The Liberal Democrats have some really great policies around the NHS and dentistry reform. Which I wholeheartedly support.
Increase GP Availability:
The Liberal Democrats propose giving everyone the right to see their GP within seven days, or within 24 hours if it’s urgent. This will be achieved by training, recruiting, and retaining more GPs, which should reduce the current waiting times for doctor appointments.
Recruit more GPs:
The number of GPs available will be increased to 8,000, half by boosting recruitment, including more opportunities for junior doctors and increasing training facilities.
Reform NHS Dentistry:
The Liberal Democrats aim to rebuild NHS dentistry by addressing workforce shortages, increasing dental recruitment and training, and reforming the payment system. We prioritise improving access to affordable, high-quality dental care, especially in areas with the worst service availability.
Mental Health Services:
Recognising that mental health services are equally critical, our policy advocates for placing mental health on the same footing as physical health, which includes increasing the availability of mental health professionals and services.
More specifically for Dentistry the Liberal Democrats would:
Invest in the training and recruitment of more NHS dentists to increase the availability of dental services.
Allocate additional funding to NHS dentistry to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet public demand.
Reform NHS dental contracts to incentivise dentists to take on more NHS patients rather than opting for private practice.
Emphasise preventative dental care and public health initiatives to reduce the overall need for expensive treatments.
What do you see as the biggest threat to High Streets like Stone, and what will you and your party do to ensure it thrives?
The biggest threat to high streets like Stone is the combination of economic challenges, such as high business rates, the rise of online shopping, and the general decline in foot traffic. To ensure that high streets thrive, the Liberal Democrats propose a series of measures aimed at supporting local businesses and revitalising these important community hubs.
Firstly, we would reform business rates, which currently place a disproportionate burden on smaller businesses. By shifting to a fairer system, we aim to reduce costs for high street retailers and make it easier for new businesses to start and grow.
Secondly, we will invest in infrastructure and innovation. This includes providing better digital connectivity and supporting the adoption of new technologies. Such investments can enhance the shopping experience and attract more visitors to high streets.
The Liberal Democrats advocate for greater local empowerment. This means giving local councils more control over their budgets and planning decisions, enabling them to better address the specific needs of their communities. For example, councils would have enhanced powers to limit the number of second homes and holiday lets, which can often drive up property prices and reduce the availability of commercial spaces.
Lastly, we recognise the importance of a vibrant environment for high streets. By implementing policies to improve public transport, enhance pedestrian areas, and maintain a clean and safe environment, we can make high streets more attractive and accessible to shoppers and visitors.
These measures will help high streets like Stone not only survive but thrive.
Public transport has declined severely over the past 10 years. Today, no bus services allow residents to get from the estates across Stone into the town centre. Our train service has been severely reduced, meaning fewer trains are going to fewer destinations. What will you and your party do to help re-establish local transport links that will allow residents, workers, and visitors to leave their cars at home?
The Liberal Democrats have a comprehensive plan to address the decline in public transport and re-establish local transport links. Here are the key measures from our policy paper:
Devolve Resources and Decision-Making: We will give greater decision-making powers and resources to local authorities to design public transport infrastructure around community needs. This will enable local solutions tailored to the specific requirements of areas like Stone.
Bus Networks Control: Local authorities will be given more control over their bus networks, including the ability to run their own bus services. This approach ensures that bus routes can be restored or new routes added where there is a local need, particularly in underserved rural areas.
Rail Network Improvements: We plan to extend and complete the electrification of Britain’s rail network, improve stations, enhance disabled access, reopen smaller stations, and restore twin-track lines to major routes. These actions will improve the frequency and reliability of train services.
Affordable Rail Fares: We will freeze rail fares and simplify ticketing on public transport to ensure that regular users are paying a fair and affordable price, making train travel more attractive and accessible.
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure: To support a shift away from car usage, we will enhance the infrastructure for electric vehicles. This includes increasing the number of charging points and upgrading the local grid capacity, as well as reducing VAT on electric vehicles to encourage their adoption.
Clean Air Initiatives: We will introduce a Clean Air Act based on World Health Organization guidelines, enforced by a new Air Quality Agency, to reduce pollution from transport sources.These measures are part of our broader commitment to create a safe, reliable, and affordable transport system that supports local communities, reduces environmental impact, and enhances overall connectivity.
Since the closure and sale of Stone police station, we haven’t had a visible police presence to investigate or deter crime. What would you do to address this?
The Liberal Democrats’ approach to community policing focuses on creating a police force that is both visible and trusted within local communities. The key aspects of our policy on community policing include:
Visibility and Trust: Ensuring that police officers are visible in communities, which helps to build trust and deter crime. A strong local police presence can make residents feel safer and more secure.
Focus on Prevention and Resolution: Police officers would be dedicated to preventing crimes and resolving issues promptly, particularly focusing on serious and violent crimes such as rape.
Investing in the Criminal Justice System: Increasing investment in the criminal justice system to reduce the backlog of court cases, ensuring that justice is served swiftly for both victims and offenders. This also helps to enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement.
Breaking the Cycle of Reoffending: Improving rehabilitation services in prisons and upon release, and strengthening the supervision of offenders in the community. This aims to reduce reoffending rates and integrate former offenders back into society successfully.
Implementing Recommendations from Reviews: Requiring key figures such as the Home Secretary, the Mayor of London, and the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to develop and implement plans based on recommendations from critical reviews like the Baroness Casey Review.
A visible police presence is so important for Stone, As an MP, I would take the following steps to work towards reopening the police station in Stone:
Community Engagement and Advocacy
- Organise Public Meetings: Hold town hall meetings and public forums in Stone to gather input from residents, businesses, and community leaders about their concerns and the need for a local police station.
- Survey and Petition: Conduct surveys and petitions to demonstrate strong community support for reopening the police station. Present these findings to the local authority and the police and fire commissioner
Collaboration with Local Authorities:
- Work with Local Council: Collaborate with the local council to highlight the necessity of a police station in Stone. Advocate for the allocation of local funds and resources towards this goal.
- Police Liaison: Establish a working relationship with the local police force to understand their resource needs and operational requirements. Discuss how the reopening can be effectively managed.
Parliamentary Actions:
- Raise the Issue in Parliament: Use parliamentary tools such as questions, debates, and motions to bring attention to the issue at a national level. Highlight the impact of the police station closure on community safety in Stone.
- Lobby the Home Office: Engage with the Home Secretary and other relevant government officials to advocate for the necessary funding and policy support to reopen the police station.
Securing Funding:
- Budget Advocacy: Advocate for increased funding for local policing in budget discussions and statements. Emphasise the importance of investing in community safety and the long-term benefits of reopening the station.
- Explore Grants and Initiatives: Identify and apply for government grants or initiatives aimed at enhancing local policing and community safety.
Building a Coalition of Support:
- Cross-Party Collaboration: Work with MPs from other parties who have similar issues in their constituencies to build a broader coalition of support for increased funding and resources for local policing.
- Community Organisations: Partner with community organisations, neighbourhood watch groups, and other stakeholders to strengthen the campaign for reopening the police station.
Media and Publicity:
Media Campaign: Launch a media campaign to raise awareness of the issue. Use local newspapers, radio, and social media to highlight the community’s needs and the benefits of reopening the police station.
Success Stories: Share success stories from other areas where reopening police stations has led to improved community safety and crime reduction.
The cost-of-living crisis has hit everyone in their pocket. Despite a slowdown in inflation, prices are still significantly higher than a few years ago – and unless we see deflation, they won’t be reducing. What will you and your party do to ensure the electorate feels like their spending power has been restored?
The Liberal Democrats have been at the forefront of this issue, our policy for a Windfall Tax on Energy Profits would be spent on lowering your energy costs to support families facing high living costs.
Our plan includes making the tax system fairer by ensuring that tax burdens do not disproportionately fall on low earners. We will reverse tax cuts for big banks and abolish the separate Capital Gains tax-free allowance to tax income from wealth more similarly to income from work.
We are committed to repairing the broken safety net by reversing the £20-a-week cut to Universal Credit and raising legacy benefits. We will replace the sanctions regime with an incentive-based scheme to help people into work. Additionally, we aim to end deep poverty within a decade and establish an independent commission to recommend annual increases in Universal Credit.
We will negotiate comprehensive veterinary and plant health agreements to ensure that UK food and animal products have easy access to European markets.
This will help reduce the costs associated with exporting and importing food, thereby reducing prices for consumers.
Maintain full payments to family farming businesses while accelerating the rollout of better Environmental Land Management schemes. Increase the farming budget by £1 billion a year to support nature-friendly farming and help bring down food prices.
Everyone of my constituents is feeling this cost of living crisis. We need to act now to protect the most vulnerable and to get our economy moving again.
If elected, what would you do to substantially increase the availability of good-quality social housing for rent and affordable properties for first-time buyers?
Building New Homes: We will build at least 150,000 new council and social homes each year. This includes giving local authorities the powers to end the right to buy in their areas and requiring them to have a landlord licensing scheme.
Empowering Local Authorities: Local councils will be allowed to buy land for housing developments based on current use rather than on a “hope value” based on planning application. This will be achieved by reforming the Land Compensation Act 1961 and strengthening local authorities’ powers to build their own homes. While this is quite a technical change this would be absolutely transformative for house building and would allow councils to build in the right places fast and with the correct amount of infrastructure.
Improving Renters’ Rights: We will strengthen rights for renters in the private sector by banning no-fault evictions and making longer tenancies the default. For social housing tenants, we will give them more powers over the management of their homes and estates.
Raising Standards: We aim to improve standards for new homes to ensure they are warm, cheap to heat, and produce zero emissions.
Addressing the Building Safety Crisis: Ensuring that leaseholders do not have to pay for removing dangerous cladding from their buildings is another crucial step we will take to make housing safer and more affordable.
Stone’s roads and pavements are in a terrible state despite regular news reports about additional funding for pothole repairs. How will you ensure that our roads and pavements are safe and suitable for all users?
Stone’s roads and pavements are indeed in dire need of attention. Despite reports of additional funding for pothole repairs, the current state remains unacceptable. The Liberal Democrats will prioritise the maintenance and upgrade of existing roads and pavements to ensure they are safe and suitable for all users.
We will push for a dedicated local road maintenance fund, ensuring that funds are allocated directly to urgent repairs and long-term improvements. By implementing stringent oversight and accountability measures, we will make sure that allocated funds are used effectively and transparently. Additionally, we support the establishment of a Road Traffic Reduction Unit to develop long-term strategies for reducing road congestion and wear, complementing repair efforts with sustainable transport solutions.
We will advocate for investment in alternative fuels and support the transition to low-emission vehicles to reduce environmental impact.
In addition as councillor I have reported hundreds of potholes and pavement issues. It is the number one issue for a lot of my residents and I am no stranger to lobbying the highways cabinet member for more repairs to pavements and roads.
I will continue this same dogged approach and hold Staffordshire council to account for the state of our roads.
Roadworks have had a significant impact over the last few years. While investment is welcome, it seems that companies taking public cash rarely work as quickly as they could – we often see long periods of time with no workers or they have all gone home early in the afternoon. What solutions would you like to see implemented that would ensure that 3rd party contractors work quickly and efficiently to ensure that roadworks are completed in a timely manner?
Local councils often have to play a balancing act with value for money and speed in which infrastructure improvements are delivered. There isn’t an easy answer to this.
The main point is that the LGA reports that, Core spending power for councils has been reduced by 27% in real terms from 2010 to 2024.
If we want better services and infrastructure this needs to be reversed.
The Liberal Democrats emphasise the need for fair funding allocations to local authorities to enable them to deliver essential services effectively. We plan to provide local governments with the necessary financial support and resources to carry out their responsibilities and improve local infrastructure.
Stone is a rural town; what will you and your party do to support rural businesses and workers?
To support rural businesses and workers in a town like Stone, the Liberal Democrats propose several measures aimed at boosting local economies, addressing specific challenges faced by rural areas, and enhancing overall community well-being. These include
Business Rates Reform: The Liberal Democrats will reform business rates to support high street businesses and enable them to create new local jobs.
Industrial Strategy: Developing an industrial strategy to incentivise businesses to invest in new clean technologies, which will help grow the economy, create good jobs, and address the climate emergency.
Flexible Working: Changing the law to make flexible working open to all from day one in the job, thus empowering more people, such as parents and carers, to enter the job market. This also allows rural workers opportunities that they wouldn’t have elsewise if they’d have to commute to the city.
Skills and Recruitment: Investing in people’s skills and increasing the availability of apprenticeships and career advice for young people to address the skills and recruitment crisis.
Support for Farmers: Ensuring payments continue in full to family farming businesses while accelerating the rollout of better Environmental Land Management schemes. Increasing the farming budget by £1 billion a year to support nature-friendly farming and reduce food prices.
Trade and Export Support: Standing up for British farmers by negotiating comprehensive veterinary and plant health agreements to guarantee access for UK food and animal products to the European market, thus enabling easier trade with European neighbours.
Second Homes and Community Assets: Allowing communities to limit the number of second homes and holiday lets, enhancing powers on community assets to help local authorities protect vital infrastructure, and ensuring local authorities have a key role in cutting emissions and improving broadband and mobile connectivity.
The Liberal Democrats have a long proud history of supporting both business and working in a fair way, and I intend to honour it.
As a canal town and a town with a world-renowned canoeing club, what will you and your party do to ensure that our waterways are well-maintained and free from sewage?
We have called for a complete ban on Sewage Discharge to stop water companies from dumping raw sewage into rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
The Lib Dems intend to transform water companies into public benefit companies. This transformation includes ending bonuses for water company executives until sewage discharges and leaks are eliminated.
And finally we will replace Ofwat with a new, tougher regulator equipped with the necessary powers to prevent sewage discharges and ensure clean waterways.
It feels like politicians focus on the vote-winning older generations. What will you and your party do to support teenagers and young adults who are experiencing issues accessing things like education, jobs and mental health services?
The Liberal Democrats have been at the forefront of progressive policies that benefit young people. Some of our policies are:
Education
Our young people have been completely left behind when it comes to education. We have a radical approach to fix the broken system.
Mental Health: Post the pandemic the mental health of our youth has been severely impacted. We will put a dedicated qualified mental health professional in every school to ensure that all children and parents have someone they can turn to for help. We are also committed to putting mental health on the same footing as physical health, ensuring that adequate resources and services are available for those in need.
School Funding: We will increase school and college funding per pupil above the rate of inflation every year to ensure quality education.
Free School Meals: We will extend free school meals to all children in primary education and all secondary school children whose families receive Universal Credit. This has been a Liberal policy since 1906!
Special Educational Needs: We will tackle the crisis in special educational needs provision by giving local authorities extra funding to reduce the amount that schools pay towards the cost of a child’s Education Health and Care Plan.
Higher Education Support: We will reinstate maintenance grants for disadvantaged students immediately to make sure that living costs are not a barrier to studying at university.
Jobs and Skills
We need to get young people working in fulfilling careers that pay. Our policies aim to do this.
Apprenticeships and Career Advice: We will fix the skills and recruitment crisis by investing in people’s skills and increasing the availability of apprenticeships and career advice for young people.
Skills Wallets: We will create new Skills Wallets, giving all adults £10,000 to spend on education and training throughout their lives.
Youth Opportunities Abroad: We will expand opportunities for young people to study, teach, and volunteer abroad by returning to the Erasmus Plus programme as an associated country.
Housing
We need to end the housing crisis. With huge rents and unaffordable mortgages it is not only resulting in an uncertain future for our youth but is also affecting our economy. People are spending more and more of their income each year on housing rather than spending it in the economy and supporting jobs and businesses.
Council and Social Housing: We aim to build at least 150,000 new council and social homes every year. This will help address the shortage of affordable housing and provide more options for those in need.
Local Authority Powers: We will give local authorities the power to end the right to buy in their areas and require them to have a landlord licensing scheme. This will help local councils manage their housing stock more effectively and ensure better standards in the rental market.
Land Acquisition: We will allow councils to buy land for housing developments based on current use value rather than speculative “hope value.” This reform of the Land Compensation Act 1961 will make it easier and more affordable for local authorities to develop housing projects.
Private Sector Renters: We will strengthen rights for renters in the private sector by banning no-fault evictions and making longer tenancies the default. This will provide more stability and security for tenants.
Social Housing Tenants: We will give social housing tenants more powers over the management of their homes and estates, ensuring they have a greater say in their living conditions and community.
Energy Efficiency: We will improve standards for new homes to ensure they are warm, cheap to heat, and produce zero emissions. This focus on energy efficiency will help reduce living costs and contribute to environmental sustainability.
Most people agree that walking is very beneficial—how can we ensure that our network of rights-of-way is properly maintained and available to all?
The Liberal Democrats do not only commit to protecting and maintaining our rights of ways by giving local councils more autonomy to do so, we also plan to open new walking networks that are separated from motorised traffic to encourage walking and all its benefits.
What will you and your party do to control both legal and illegal immigration?
Liberal Democrats will invest in officers, training, and technology to tackle smuggling, trafficking, and modern slavery.
Work visas, overseas students, and asylum powers will be transferred to other departments. A new arms-length unit will be established to process applications quickly and correctly.
Establish a dedicated unit outside the Home Office to improve the speed and quality of asylum decision-making. Introduce a service standard of three months for processing all but the most complex asylum claims.
Allow asylum seekers to work if they have been waiting for a decision for more than three months. This enables them to support themselves, integrate into their communities, and most importantly contribute to our economy through taxation.
What’s your opinion on the climate crisis? What should individuals and the government do to ensure our children and grandchildren can grow up in a healthy environment?
As a father of a newborn baby, I am extremely worried about the world my daughter will inherit.
As a local councillor, I have advocated passionately for renewable energy infrastructure in my districts.
As Liberal Democrats we have a number of policies specifically aimed at stopping the impending climate collapse and making sure our environment is protected for our children.
- We plan to set a net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2045.
- Ensure 80% of the UK’s electricity is generated from renewables by 2030.
- Provide free retrofits for low-income homes and generous tax incentives for other households to reduce energy consumption, emissions, and fuel bills.
- Require all new homes to be fitted with solar panels.
- Plant at least 60 million trees a year to help reach net zero and restore woodland habitats.
- Ban water companies from dumping raw sewage into rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
- Promote green technologies and skills to boost the economy and create well-paid jobs.
- Ensure the UK’s net zero commitments are a core part of any international trade agreements.
- Establish a Net Zero Delivery Authority and strengthen local authorities’ powers and resources to cut emissions.
“Why should I vote for you? All politicians lie and say what they want to get elected.” – How do you respond to this statement?
Our country’s politics is in a dire state at the moment, the domination of the two main parties has caused a complete breakdown of trust and apathy in politics and politicians.
You don’t become a Liberal Democrat politician for an easy ride…
You become a Liberal Democrat politician because you truly believe in the values of freedom and equality for all.
You become a Liberal Democrat politician because you care about your local communities and want to work hard representing them. Across the country regardless of where you live and your political views, if you have a Liberal Democrat representative you know that they work hard for their communities.
As our MP, how would you ensure that independent publications like A Little Bit of Stone get the support they need? Whether that’s protection from big tech companies scraping our content, suppressing our content or ensuring that public money is available to help create a sustainable business?
As your MP, I will ensure that independent publications like A Little Bit of Stone receive the support they need through a multi-faceted approach:
Protection from Big Tech: We will legislate to require very large social media platforms to negotiate fair compensation with content providers for news used on their sites. This will help protect local publications from having their content scraped and used without proper remuneration.
Support for Sustainability: We propose the establishment of a Local Journalism Fund, levied on large social media companies. This fund will be managed by an independent body to ensure that independent publications have access to financial support, helping them to create a sustainable business model.
Ensuring Fair Competition: By applying the same rules to online news outlets as traditional news providers, we aim to create a level playing field, preventing large tech companies from unfairly dominating the market and suppressing local journalism.
Promoting Local Voices: I will advocate for policies that enhance the visibility and reach of local publications, ensuring they remain integral to the community by providing vital information and holding local authorities accountable.
If elected, what would be the top five areas on which you’d be concentrating your efforts?
Our Roads and Infrastructure:
- Campaign for more local road maintenance funds, ensure transparent use of repair allocations.
Our NHS, Care, and Dentistry Services:
- Campaign to Increase NHS funding, integrate health and social care, improve mental health services, and address workforce shortages to ensure accessible, high-quality care for all.
Supporting Local Businesses to Thrive:
- Campaign for financial support, a reduction of regulatory burdens, and promote local entrepreneurship to create a vibrant, sustainable local economy that benefits the entire community. Championing our local businesses on the national and international stage.
Renewal of Our Villages:
- Campaign for investment in local amenities, enhanced public transport, support affordable housing, and promote community initiatives to revitalise villages and strengthen community ties.
The Environment:
- Campaign to invest in renewable energy, implement green policies, and promote sustainable practices to tackle climate change and protect our natural environment for future generations.
Closing Statement, why should people vote for you?
I am a hard working local champion and councillor who will work tirelessly without districation for you.
At our core Liberal Democrats believe that power belongs in the hands of local communities wherever and whenever possible, this means that I am unencumbered by large national agendas which gives me the freedom to truly champion the people of Stone, Great Wryley and Penkridge whilst still having the support of a large national party.
I am passionate about personal freedom and choice, people should be able to live their life how they want to. This is reflected in my local politics and why being a Liberal Democrat makes perfect sense.
If elected I promise I will hold no other job and focus on our communities. I will have monthly surgeries across our geographically extensive constituency, and will ensure your voices are represented..
Above all else; I will always stand up for you.
Don’t forget, https://stones.vote is our website dedicated to all things about the election!

It’s nice to see mental health and the nhs are key areas for you?? What about the environment?
