Mary Lawes, Reform UK Candidate for Folkestone East

Mary Lawes is the Reform UK candidate for Folkestone East in the upcoming Kent County Council elections.  We spoke with Mary about her decision to stand.

“they chose to target the most vulnerable in society to balance their books, stripping pensioners of their Winter Fuel Allowance just as winter began”

Kent County Council

I am Mary Lawes, and I am standing as a candidate for Reform UK because I am deeply concerned about the direction in which Labour is taking our country. Labour is misleading the British public, convincing them that only they can serve their best interests, while in reality, their policies are causing serious harm.

Labour’s Broken Promises

Labour’s General Election manifesto promised to fix the NHS. Instead of delivering real reform, they handed the unions a pay deal to halt strikes and increased public sector wages—yet the NHS remains in crisis.

They also repeatedly claimed that there was a £22 billion “black hole” in public finances. Were there? Regardless, they chose to target the most vulnerable in society to balance their books, stripping pensioners of their Winter Fuel Allowance just as winter began. They are also forcing farmers to give up their land and cutting support for the sick and disabled.

“we should be utilising our own energy resources while gradually transitioning to advanced nuclear technology, which is cleaner, more reliable, and does not depend on the weather”

The Cost of Net Zero

One of the most damaging policies Labour is pursuing is Net Zero. They have shut down domestic energy production, forcing the UK to import expensive foreign fuel—raising costs for consumers. Meanwhile, they are covering our countryside with solar farms and wind turbines while adding green levies to household energy bills.

The UK contributes just 1% of the world’s CO₂ emissions, yet billions are being spent on ineffective green policies. Solar panels, imported from China, are produced using materials mined by child labour under dangerous conditions. Instead of this, we should be utilising our own energy resources while gradually transitioning to advanced nuclear technology, which is cleaner, more reliable, and does not depend on the weather.

Neglect of Folkestone East

I am standing in Folkestone East, a deprived area that has been neglected for over 20 years.

  • There are no proper community spaces.
  • The Folkestone Harbour area, home to over 5,000 children, has just one small play area.
  • There are no sports facilities, football pitches, or youth clubs.
  • There are no organisations like Guides, Brownies, or Scouts.

Meanwhile, our roads are in disrepair. While new housing estates receive investment in infrastructure, our area suffers from dangerous roads, few pedestrian crossings, and an inadequate public transport system.

Protecting Food Security and Small Businesses

Our country’s food security is at risk. Without farms and farmers, we will be forced to import food, leaving us vulnerable to external control. Labour’s policies are deliberately worsening this situation as part of their globalist agenda.

Meanwhile, small businesses are struggling. Labour’s increase in National Insurance is making it more expensive to hire staff, while their so-called minimum wage increase does little to offset soaring costs in:

  • Energy bills
  • Water rates
  • Rent & mortgages
  • Council tax (which has seen record-high increases in our district over the last five years)

People are struggling, and in deprived areas, life is becoming unbearable for the most vulnerable in our society.

“With approximately 15,000 trucks entering the UK daily, this policy could generate significant funds to maintain and improve our roads”

A Fair Solution for Road Maintenance

Reform UK Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh has a practical policy to fund road repairs in Kent. British truckers must pay substantial fees to drive through Europe—so why shouldn’t foreign truckers contribute to our infrastructure?

We propose a £35 daily charge for trucks coming from the continent, using the existing infrastructure at Dover and the Channel Tunnel.

With approximately 15,000 trucks entering the UK daily, this policy could generate significant funds to maintain and improve our roads. We would want this ring fenced for Kent roads.

I am also committed to:

  • Improving road safety (with more crossings in high-risk areas)
  • Addressing the poor local bus service—especially the vital 74 bus route

“second rail service could bring much-needed competition to Eurostar, potentially reopening Ebbsfleet and Ashford International stations, which have been closed since Covid”

Reviving Local Transport and Businesses

The approval of Richard Branson’s second rail service could bring much-needed competition to Eurostar, potentially reopening Ebbsfleet and Ashford International stations, which have been closed since Covid.

Currently, Kent residents must travel to London just to board a train that passes through these closed stations. Increased competition would mean:

  • Better services
  • Lower fares

We must also do more to support local businesses. Reform UK will push to:

  • Reverse the National Insurance hike
  • Lower energy bills to help struggling businesses

Our high streets are dying, and people are losing jobs. We must take action now.

Get in Touch

I am committed to fighting for the people of Folkestone East and ensuring that our voices are heard.

David Bettney, SDP candidate for Mayor of Doncaster

David Bettney is the SDP candidate for Mayor of Doncaster. We spoke with David about his decision to stand.

“I am a former Regimental Sergeant Major who served 22 years in the British Army, and for the last 15 years I have been building and running successful companies”

Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?

My name is David Bettney, and I am a former Regimental Sergeant Major who served 22 years in the British Army, and for the last 15 years I have been building and running successful companies (Construction, Logistics & Security) in the Middle East, employing over 350 people.

I decided to run for Doncaster Mayor, as I ran as South Yorkshire Mayor last year, and I came 3rd in the Doncaster area, beating the Lib Dems and Green’s vote combined.

“my top priority is to generate well paying jobs, to give Doncaster a much needed cash injection”

You’re the candidate for Mayor of Doncaster. What are the main concerns in the area?

There are many concerns, with freezing pensioners and antisocial behaviour, being very high up on the list (and I have a school’s program, to go into the schools and talk to the kids, about how I, and others from disadvantaged backgrounds, achieved a lot in the forces with the right mentors, and how can play a huge part in making our city a great place to live). But my top priority is to generate well paying jobs, to give Doncaster a much needed cash injection.

“We have become a giant NGO, without asking the people first, if they actually want to sponsor the world’s inhabitants to come here”

What do you see as the major issues more widely that if election you would use the profile of the role to champion?

The wider issues would be to use the platform to stop the invasion on the South coast, and remove anybody here illegally, just the same as British citizens face when abroad if they have incorrect or no paperwork. We have become a giant NGO, without asking the people first, if they actually want to sponsor the world’s inhabitants to come here and live on our small island!

It’s simple, we either choose to use the law or we become lawless 🙁

Ashley Dickenson, Christian Peoples Alliance candidate for the 10th April Sutton Central ward by-election

Ashley Dickenson is the Christian Peoples Alliance (CPA) candidate for the Sutton Central ward by-election in the London Borough of Sutton. We spoke with Ashley about his decision to stand.

“I’m running to promote the Christian Peoples Alliance in this Borough and not least our policies that could benefit Sutton High Street that’s in this ward”

Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?

I’m running to promote the Christian Peoples Alliance in this Borough and not least our policies that could benefit Sutton High Street that’s in this ward.  For example, our turnover tax of 5% on turnovers of at least £85,000, offset against corporation tax, in order to reduce business rates that have cost us our High Street shops.  Just earlier this month I read of an independent coffee shop, Tazza, that has been forced to close owing to the ‘chain’ coffee shops in Sutton.  OK this is an issue that needs to be addressed at a national level but, if elected, this is what I would raise, given the opportunity. 

On a more practical level: school buses!  Given that more money has been raised through the ULEZ scheme, is it not possible that a % of that could not fund school buses to reduce school-run traffic and thereby reduce even further any pollution, to say nothing of increasing road works owing to the pressure on our roads.  At one time the Tramlink was proposed for Sutton: this will be pointless unless there’s a re-vitalisation of our High Street, not least through independent and family-run businesses.  

“At least one main concern brought to my attention is the site of the former B & Q on which it is proposed to build new developments called Chalk Green.  Not least the increased pressure on one of our Health Centres”

You’re the candidate for Sutton Central. What are the main concerns in the area?

At least one main concern brought to my attention is the site of the former B & Q on which it is proposed to build new developments called Chalk Green.  Not least the increased pressure on one of our Health Centres; the limited parking which means that homeowners who own cars will have to park (creating ‘overflows’) on nearby roads, adding to parking pressures.  

“Time and again I have witnessed overcrowding on our regular routes by pupils.  If our excellent schools had their own buses, this would go a long way to alleviating the ‘school run’ traffic”

What do you see as the major issues more widely in Sutton and if elected what do you hope to champion?

The housing issue as well as speeding restrictions.  The latter as, if you’re going to have 20 mph imposed on some roads then drivers will increase speeds on other roads to make up ‘for lost time’ as it were and so risk accidents and breaking the speed limit, even 30 mph.  Regarding roads, I refer you back to the need for school buses. 

The benefits of a school bus:

  1. Children are always on time
  2. They can make new friends
  3. Children learn to look after their things
  4. Children learn about time management
  5. Lower accident/crime rate against our children
  6. Parents’ peace of mind.
  7. It would restore the face-to-face contact between friends considering the enforced separation of each other since this pandemic started. As:

When children are being driven to school they contact friends via mobile or tablet. A school bus encourages more natural contact and would help reduce over-dependency on technology, as marvellous as it is.  Though I accept that contact via mobiles will still take place, even on buses.

Time and again I have witnessed overcrowding on our regular routes by pupils.  If our excellent schools had their own buses, this would go a long way to alleviating the ‘school run’ traffic.  We have excellent schools in this Borough. 

Also: leaves!  They are not swept away as regularly as they should be and those that are left I take it on myself to use as compost for our shared garden.  The more upswept leaves end up inside our drains they are blocking the same and so rainwater is not efficiently or sufficiently dealt with.

Joanna Bishop, Reform UK candidate for the 10th April Sutton Central ward by-election

Joanna Bishop is the Reform UK candidate for the Sutton Central ward by-election in the London Borough of Sutton. We spoke with Joanna about her decision to stand.

“I felt we had been gradually suffocated by the red tape and regulations putting a strain on businesses and making the future seem quite bleak”

Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?

My name is Joanna Bishop and I am standing in the Sutton Central ward by-election for the London Borough of Sutton. I have lived in Sutton for 23 years and the wider local area for my entire life.

I decided to run as a candidate having become disillusioned with the successive governments over the past couple of decades. I have always followed politics to a degree but I never felt compelled to join a party before. I started to pay more attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it struck me how badly our country was being run. I felt we had been gradually suffocated by the red tape and regulations putting a strain on businesses and making the future seem quite bleak. Nigel Farage has been on my radar for some time, and I have massive respect for his bravery in standing up and challenging the establishment. I read every word of Reforms contract to the people before the July 2024 general election, and it resonated with me in such a way that I felt compelled to not only vote for Reform but to get stuck in and help.

I have a burning desire to help Reform flourish from grass roots up. I feel like local residents have become so used to inefficient and sometimes incompetent councillors that that’s what they now expect. I would love to turn that around and establish a local support network where I can meet and speak with residents on local issues.

“Sutton high street is the target of shoplifters and local residential properties and vehicles are being targeted by thieves on a regular basis”

You’re the candidate for Sutton Central. What are the main concerns in the area?

Although the violent crime rate is low in Sutton in comparison to the other London boroughs it is still prevalent, and residents would like to see more police presence on our streets. Sutton high street is the target of shoplifters and local residential properties and vehicles are being targeted by thieves on a regular basis.

Local residents have been calling out for their council representative to be accessible and for their concerns to be listened to. I pledge to be a strong voice on the council so that the resident’s voices will finally be heard.

“The council needs to spend the residents’ tax more wisely and cut waste”

What do you see as the major issues more widely in Sutton and if elected what do you hope to champion?

Overhaul Suttons infrastructure. Reduce the mass of restrictions on our roads. Reverse the ULEZ expansion. Better transport links and affordable housing. The council needs to spend the residents’ tax more wisely and cut waste.

Adam Williams, SDP candidate for Totteridge and Bowerdean in the Buckinghamshire Council elections

Adam Williams is the SDP candidate for Totteridge and Bowerdean in May’s Buckinghamshire Council elections. We spoke with Adam about his decision to stand.

“my standing is an investment in the future of our town. I want to see it succeed for my children and their children after them”

Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?

My name is Adam Williams, I’m 27 years old and originally from the West Midlands. I’ve set up shop in Buckinghamshire and I am putting down roots in Wycombe. I’ve decided to run because I believe that High Wycombe offers a lot of potential for young people and their families, and my standing is an investment in the future of our town. I want to see it succeed for my children and their children after them.

I’m standing for the Social Democratic Party as the party of the traditional left. We’re culturally conservative and left leaning on economics. We seek the common good of the British people. We believe in a social market economy, the family, the fraternity of the British nation and aim to provide a political party for those who have given up on the current batch in Parliament and are looking for a hopeful alternative.

“Windrush Drive has appalling potholes, the Red Kite council estate is in disrepair and the tenants are not looked after properly”

You’re the candidate for Totteridge and Bowerdean. What are the main concerns in the area?

Windrush Drive has appalling potholes, the Red Kite council estate is in disrepair and the tenants are not looked after properly, the London Road is used a racetrack at times, and we have major issues with speeding. We’re seeing a rise in major crime events, just the other day the train station had police surrounding it, as well as minor ones such as fly tipping, making the area feel dirty and unsafe.

“I would push for the construction of data centres in Iver and Wycombe in order to facilitate economic growth in the county”

What do you see as the major issues more widely across Buckinghamshire, and if elected, what do you hope to champion?

The major issues across Buckinghamshire and what will I champion are:

  • Drug Crime and associated disorder
  • Pressures the council budget faces from unfunded mandates
  • Economic growth – more jobs in the county rather than being a stop over for London commuters, in particular low and medium skill jobs.
  • Housing for young people

I would push for the construction of data centres in Iver and Wycombe in order to facilitate economic growth in the county, and in my ward in particular I would be focusing on anti-social behaviour, such as littering, fly tipping and speeding, pressuring the council to carry out much needed road repair and advocating for a restoration of the Red Kite council housing to properly suit the tenants needs.

“We seek the common good of the British people. We believe in a social market economy, the family, the fraternity of the British nation”

Maxine Fothergill, Reform UK candidate for Sevenoaks Rural North East in the Kent County Council elections

Maxine Fothergill is the Reform UK candidate for Sevenoaks Rural North East in May’s Kent County Council elections. We spoke with Maxine about her decision to stand.

“I have a strong track record of standing up for my community, both as a business owner for over 23 years and through my extensive experience in local government”

Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?

I’m Maxine Fothergill, the Reform UK candidate for Sevenoaks Rural North East in the Kent County Council elections. I am leading the local campaign for Reform UK because I believe our area needs stronger representation, real action, and a fresh approach to tackling the issues that matter most to residents.

I have a strong track record of standing up for my community, both as a business owner for over 23 years and through my extensive experience in local government. I decided to run because I see the growing challenges in our area—from the threat to our Green Belt to the worsening state of our roads—and I want to be a strong, independent voice for local residents. Unlike the main parties, I’m not tied to Westminster politics; my priority is fighting for what truly matters to the people of Sevenoaks Rural North East.

I have a long history in local government, having lived in Bexley for 30 years and serving as a councillor in Bexley for eight years. After moving to Sevenoaks Rural North East, I became frustrated with the main political parties and their failure to put local communities first. This led me to stand as an Independent councillor, running on my own mandate—and in doing so, I made history. I successfully won a seat in Fawkham and West Kingsdown, taking it from the Conservatives for the first time ever. From 2019 to 2023, I served as Deputy Leader of the Independent Group on Sevenoaks District Council, working hard to challenge poor decision-making and push for real change. Unfortunately, I lost my seat in the last election due to a split vote, largely caused by paper candidates from the Conservatives and the Green Party.

Beyond local politics, I have long been a supporter of Nigel Farage and his efforts to challenge the establishment. I was actively involved in campaigning for the Brexit Party, particularly during the MEP elections and London Mayoral elections. I was also honoured to be selected as the Parliamentary candidate for Old Bexley and Sidcup, where, despite having just a four-week campaign, we achieved an incredible result—winning 10,384 votes and 21.8% of the vote share, significantly improving on the previous 6% result in the 2021 by-election.

My political journey has always been about putting local people first, standing up for what’s right, and ensuring that the voices of residents are not ignored. That is exactly what I will do if elected as your Kent County Councillor for Sevenoaks Rural North East, standing proudly as your Reform UK candidate.

“The condition of our roads is one of the biggest frustrations for residents. Potholes and poor maintenance are causing serious damage to vehicles, and many drivers have had to replace tyres or pay for costly repairs”

You’re the candidate for Sevenoaks Rural North East. What are the main concerns in the area?

As the Reform UK candidate for Sevenoaks Rural North East, I am campaigning on the real local issues that residents have told me matter most to them. These include:

• Protecting Our Green Belt – Our beautiful countryside is under threat from large-scale solar farm applications and inappropriate housing developments. At least five solar farms are currently proposed, which would destroy productive farmland and damage the rural character of our area. I will fight to challenge these developments and ensure local residents’ views are properly considered in planning decisions.

• Fixing Our Roads – The condition of our roads is one of the biggest frustrations for residents. Potholes and poor maintenance are causing serious damage to vehicles, and many drivers have had to replace tyres or pay for costly repairs. I will push for proper investment in long-term road maintenance rather than temporary patch-up jobs that don’t last.

• Tackling Fly-Tipping – Illegal dumping is a growing problem in our rural areas, damaging our environment and putting unfair costs on landowners and farmers who are left to clear up the mess. I will push for stronger enforcement, tougher penalties for offenders, and better waste disposal solutions to prevent fly-tipping and hold those responsible to account.

Beyond these key issues, I know that many families in our area are struggling. West Kingsdown has one of the largest food banks in the area, showing just how many people need extra support. Meanwhile, elderly residents who have lost their winter fuel allowance are finding it harder to afford heating, and many don’t have the technology or assistance to apply for financial help. I will work with local partners to secure more support for our community and ensure the most vulnerable are not left behind.

If elected, I will be a determined voice for Sevenoaks Rural North East, ensuring that local concerns are heard and acted upon.

“I won’t make promises I can’t keep, but I will work tirelessly to ensure that Sevenoaks Rural North East gets the attention and investment it deserves”

What do you see as the major issues more widely across Kent, and if elected, what do you hope to champion?

Across Kent, we are facing many of the same challenges—overdevelopment, failing infrastructure, and underfunded local services—but these issues hit Sevenoaks Rural North East particularly hard. As the Reform UK candidate, I will work to ensure our area gets the support and investment it desperately needs.

• Overdevelopment and Planning Concerns – Across Kent, overdevelopment is putting pressure on local infrastructure, roads, and services. In our area, this is particularly evident in the growing number of solar farm applications, which threaten our best agricultural land. I will fight to ensure that rural communities are protected and that sustainable planning decisions are made with residents’ concerns in mind.

• Investment in Local Infrastructure – Kent’s infrastructure is struggling to keep up with demand, and Sevenoaks Rural North East is often overlooked when funding decisions are made. I will push for better road repairs, improved transport links, and stronger investment in local services to ensure our area is not left behind.

• Better Waste and Environmental Management – Fly-tipping is a county-wide issue, but it is particularly damaging in rural areas like ours. I will push for tougher action against offenders, as well as better local waste disposal facilities so that people are less likely to resort to illegal dumping.

• Support for Vulnerable Residents – Many elderly residents and struggling families in Kent are not getting the help they need. I will work to secure more local funding for community support services, ensuring that those most in need—including those without internet access—are not left behind.

I won’t make promises I can’t keep, but I will work tirelessly to ensure that Sevenoaks Rural North East gets the attention and investment it deserves, standing proudly as your Reform UK candidate.

“The cost of living being compounded by council tax increases and waste across the council”

What do you see as the major issues more widely in Brent and if elected what do you hope to champion?

The cost of living being compounded by council tax increases and waste across the council. Much needed support for small local businesses and available parking.

Democracy Deferred Surrey – Write to your councillor!

The Labour government is undertaking consultations to reorganise local government, part of which may mean the cancellation of local elections in Surrey.  This has led to an extraordinary meeting of Surrey County Council to be held on 8th January 2025. 

The Surrey Reform UK team have asked local supporters to write to their county councillors to reject the postponement of May 2025 elections, using text from the template provided below. With the meeting being held on the 8th January, time is of the essence.  Whilst written for Reform members anyone based in Surrey could use the template.  If you want to support democracy and local elections going ahead, please write out before the January 8th meeting.

The agenda of the meeting is contained here.

Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms _____

RE: Extraordinary meeting of Surrey County Council to be held 8th January 2025

As a constituent and voter in your division, I would like to stress my concerns around the details and expectations of the above meeting. I shall not comment on the Governments Devolution and Local Government Reform proposals which the Council is asked to endorse.

My concerns are;

  1. Deciding to postpone elections without consultation with ones constituents is flagrantly undemocratic.
  2. The current crop of councilors have served their fixed term of office and will hold no democratic mandate from May 2025 onwards.
  3. The proposed timeline for the completion of devolution by May 2026, in order to hold elections, is purely aspirational. There are no legally binding assurances with the actions of Westminster and their legislative calendars will now control the timelines of local democracy.
  4. With no mandate for these changes in the current Labour Governments manifesto and current councilors having reached the end of the fixed term. The public has the right to elect a new crop of councilors who may better represent the views and wishes of their constituents.

In conclusion, I ask you to consider my concerns and vote to ensure County Council elections are held in May 2025.

Yours sincerely,

Your name and address
