As the mum of three young children, I want them to grow up in a world that’s not ruined by greed, inequality and catastrophic climate change.

Full statement

Cornwall’s natural environment is our greatest asset, but it’s under threat from destructive ‘development’ that has done little to improve the lives of local people.
I know it’s possible to make positive changes that make a real difference to the lives of people in our communities, because I’ve helped make quite a few myself. As your MP, I’d work hard to do this for the people of Truro and Falmouth.
As a Town Councillor and Planning Committee Chair, I’ve:
• Fought to make sure that planning decisions put local needs first
• Championed new housing that’s genuinely affordable and built to high standards of sustainability
• Helped launch a community energy network that allows local people to benefit from Cornwall’s fantastic renewable energy resources
• Fought to protect vital services from cuts and worked to find creative solutions that can keep these going in our communities
• Fought to improve educational opportunities for local children
• Led the team that’s successfully developing a skate and BMX park for youngsters
