I have lived in Poole for over twenty years and know that it's a fantastic place to settle and raise a family.

Full statement

The last decade has been tough though for most of us and your MP should be on your side - speaking up for the area and promoting the policies that would help give people a better way of life. Poole deserves an MP that's actively working for residents and getting things done.



If elected, I will commit to a number of personal pledges:

I will listen to electors and be visible within the constituency

I will represent residents when they have a concern or problem

I will report back on what I have been doing on a regular basis

I will be independently minded and represent the interests of Poole in Parliament

I will work hard on behalf of the people of Poole and will not take a second job



The Conservatives have had 14 years to make things better, but they have failed. Most families are finding things tougher than before as they see that all their household bills keep rising. It's time for something better. I know it's difficult for people to put their trust in someone new - but the Conservatives don't deserve your support anymore. They have let the people of Poole down.



That's why we need someone who can deal with the new government, someone with fresh ideas and someone that will work hard for local residents. Every vote matters and what matters is that you vote. Be part of something better with Labour.
