Robin Jackson is the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Slough. We spoke with Robin about his decision to stand.
“unhappy with the current Labour regime and a bankrupt town, I spoke to Reform, went through a stringent interview process and I am happy to be the Perspective Parliamentary Candidate for the general election”
Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Robin Jackson, I have five children, I am single and I live on my own in the Chalvey area of Slough. For over 20 years I ran Hotels and pub restaurants to a high standard and at the age of forty moved in to recruitment and I am now a client director.
What made you decide to stand for Reform UK?
After living here and seeing how bad things have become in Slough and everyone I speak with being so unhappy with the current Labour regime and a bankrupt town, I spoke to Reform, went through a stringent interview process and I am happy to be the Perspective Parliamentary Candidate for the general election to at least give the voters in Slough a choice as they have been let down massively here.
“I wanted to be able to help the people of Slough and to make the council who are still under government special measures, accountable”
You’re the Spokesman for Slough what’s made you decide to represent this area?
The area is pretty run down, especially in Chalvey, issues with drugs, street drinking, litter and anti-social behaviour. rough sleepers and begging is rife. The town centre is dead, no late bars, clubs, no cinema, nothing really you would class as decent shopping as there is an ongoing issue with the owners of the shopping centre and all but two brands have moved out. I wanted to be able to help the people of Slough and to make the council who are still under government special measures, accountable for the way the at the town is run.
“the major issues I would like to address are the lack of amenities for families and the lack of entertainment”
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
There are day to day issues that get on peoples nerves like people parking on the pavement, dangerous scooters and e-bikes on the paths, litter everywhere, and drink an drug addicts in the town begging. But the major issues I would like to address are the lack of amenities for families and the lack of entertainment. I have never know a town to not have a cinema, there does not appear to be anyone driving this.
For those eager to help, how can they get involved in the campaign?
I would love help in fund raising, recruiting new members and volunteers. I am looking to engage with about 100 people from all of the local churches, mosques, groups and communities who want to see real change in the town. If you don’t vote for change, you will get more of the same. You can find me on X/Twitter at @RobinJacks16957 and find more information at https://www.reformparty.uk/slough-constituency.
