Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Simon Keats, I have lived in the South of England all my life. Worked for the Met Police as a photographer for 14yrs and now a freelance photographer and video producer. I try and get involved in local groups around where I now live in Dorking time permitting. Always been interested in news and current affairs. Genuinely want to help local people and younger people in the area.
What made you decide to stand for Reform UK?
I wanted to stand for Reform as I’m amazed by Government and civil service stagnation and detachment from the people.
“I want to represent my neighbours of this new constituency”
You’re the Spokesman for Dorking and Horley what’s made you decide to represent this area?
I have the privilege of living in Dorking and Horley, and I want to represent my neighbours of this new constituency.
“Reform UK priorities of Lower Taxes and Cheaper Energy will directly assist people with the cost of living crisis”
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
When I speak to people the two big concerns that keep coming up are housing and the cost of living. Reform UK priorities of Lower Taxes and Cheaper Energy will directly assist people with the cost of living crisis, and by implementing Net zero immigration we will reduce pressure on affordable housing and public services.
