“More and more people are turning to the Liberal Democrats as a positive choice for a fairer society, and I am looking forward to continuing to work with local residents to get action on the issues that matter most to them. Improving access to health services is a key priority for me, alongside protecting our precious greenbelt from inappropriate development.
