Has Cirencester got better for you since then?

I am different from other candidates - I am already working to push the Labour government for the changes that benefit Cirencester and I will continue to do so after the election. These include:

-> Raising living standards for the people of Cirencester. We need better local services and more opportunities for well-paid work - I have identified ways that will help the proposed Innovation Village at the Royal Agricultural University become a reality, faster.

-> Cirencester families need more REALLY affordable housing to rent or buy. I am working locally to find small-scale sites instead of large-scale sites full of £1m+ homes where affordable and social housing is a hidden-away afterthought.

->Bring the Pothole Machines back to Cirencester. The Labour government has just given £1.6bn of extra pothole funding to County Councils. Pothole Machines can fix roads faster and the County Council trialled them here last year - I am working to bring them back.

>>> If you want any of these to happen faster - vote FARMER in the upcoming election.
