Alan Adams is a Telford native.

Full statement

Born and bred in Oakengates, he went to local schools, served in the Royal Navy as a Submariner from the age of 17, and then worked as an Engineer in factories across the borough. He understands hard work and has deep roots in our community.

Alan’s Grandad fed the kilns at Blockleys Bricks, his mum worked for the company building the M54, and he remembers Telford town centre when it was not much more than a Carrefour. Alan has also been a proud part of Telford’s growth and evolution.

As a local business coach he’s supported start-ups and SME businesses to do business better. He’s volunteered for the Princes Trust as a Mentor, and supported his local community – not for personal gain, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Telford deserves a viable alternative to the status quo. A status quo which consists of an unprincipled Labour Council Leader who’s shown repeatedly that he’s in it for the prestige and power, or a little-known replacement Conservative candidate who does not know Telford and can’t be expected to ‘get’ us.

Alan does ‘get’ Telford. Alan’s Telford through and through, and he wants to fight for our town – both inside Westminster and outside. A vote for Alan is a vote for common sense. For values and morals and doing the right thing. It’s a vote for a smaller state, lower taxes, and less red tape. For encouraging and celebrating success. For freedom of speech for all. And for a Britain that’s Great, but that could be so much greater for us all.
