Dear Resident, Like many of you, I have always voted Conservative.

Full statement

Now, no more. Both here in South Northamptonshire and throughout the nation, the Conservative Party has failed us. It has taken us for granted.

It is time to change this.

I am proud to be an Independent Councillor sitting on West Northants Council and offer myself to you as an Independent conservative-minded candidate for Member of Parliament.

I know the area better than any other candidate having lived here for over 20 years. I have been involved in our local politics for most of that time, leading the South Northants Council.

All parties have good ideas and poor ones, I will work with any party to help find solutions to the challenges our area faces and stand up for local needs.

My focus will be local, to South Northamptonshire putting local voices in Westminster. I want action on: • Farthinghoe Bypass • Towcester Relief Road • Net Zero • Inappropriate developments • Keep parking free of charge

I will always work for YOU, not THEM.

I ask for your support on Thursday 4 July. On Independence Day, vote INDEPENDENT.

Thank you.

Ian A McCord
