Statement to voters

I have been an active campaigner locally for nearly 20 yrs and have been proud to be elected councillor for 13 years. We live in an amazing historic and diverse environment but year on year there has been more pressure on the budgets of vital public services including our council, police, NHS, MoJ or MoD. Transport is expensive or sparse. Everywhere we see a degradation in services and shortage of available affordable housing, despite the best efforts of those involved. Our rural environment, vital for its role in people's wellbeing, tourism, ensuring food security and provision of wildlife habitat is threatened by development and now solar farms, which are accumulating along the A1 corridor on green fields, and could be placed elsewhere. Our historic assets are protected by weak policies largely unenforceable. The cost of living crisis has hit everyone. Householders, businesses and organisations all face increased costs. Yet incomes, benefits and pensions are not rising to meet increased outgoings. A lack of spare money in our economy is hitting local businesses too. NHS cuts put lives at risk. Changes are needed to planning policies to halt development without infrastructure as well. Instead of proposing more support for our communities, mainstream parties are either planning to minimise tax increases or are attack our most vulnerable people on benefits instead. They are tinkering at the edges with no sense of urgency regarding the challenges we face or proper strategic planning. We need and deserve better than this. As a Lincolnshire Independent MP I would be free to stand up for our community and will work with others who share our concerns cross party. I will lobby for urgent action on the issues raised, a fairer tax system, tighter regulations and fairer distribution of funds for our County and our Constituency.
