The opportunity arose for me to stand in Milton Keynes north as I have lived and farmed there for many years. I have local knowledge of businesses and the community gives me confidence that I’m a good candidate for the area.
“most of the decisions made by government have impacted on my businesses. This has given me an insight into political decision making – or lack of it”
You’re the Spokesman for Milton Keynes North what’s made you decide to represent this area?
I have always had an interest in politics as most of the decisions made by government have impacted on my businesses. This has given me an insight into political decision making – or lack of it – which I’ve become more and more concerned about the elderly in the communities since working for a local care company. It saddens me to see the way they are being treated with utter contempt by our serving politicians, along with the general withdrawal of our local services all for every increasing taxes.
“Bus routes taken out of service, tv licences stopped. We are creating an isolated and lonely existence for our aging population”
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
Due to lack of local funding services such as the The Warm space or The Coffee meets for our elderly have been closing. Bus routes taken out of service, tv licences stopped. We are creating an isolated and lonely existence for our aging population. Homeless in Milton Keynes is getting worse our charities are at breaking point. Food banks have become a necessity for families to survive. How is this permitted to happen in the 21 Century. A slow erosion of our services!
We must change this.
