James Martin Willis

Statement to voters

I am currently a local councillor for Heath Ward, Maidstone. I am pleased to have recently returned to live in Gravesend with my family. I campaign proactively and successfully on local issues: when I stood in the 2010 general election in Dartford I ran a successful campaign to stop the Dartford Crossing being privatised and won over 7,000 votes. I am now working with others looking for innovative ideas to tackle congestion in North Kent. I understand health and education difficulties. Through my personal experiences, I have come to be a committed advocate for inclusive education and better mental health provision. It was long after leaving school that I was diagnosed with ADHD. Having access to assistance has helped me go on to lead a fulfilling life as a small businessman, a councillor and a father. However, many children in our schools are still let down by a system which does not support them. Instead of Theresa May’s plans for new grammar schools for the few, I believe in best-in-class education resources being made available in all schools for children of all abilities. from http://www.kentonline.co.uk/election/gravesham/
