My name is Alexander Kirk—but please, call me Kirk.

Full statement

I’m running as your change candidate for Folkingham Rural, with one clear mission: Stop The Rot.

For too long, Lincolnshire’s old establishment has failed us. Under Martin 'Down Hill' OBE, council tax has soared while roads in places like Billingborough, Horbling, Folkingham, and Rippingale have crumbled. Public services in Slackby, Laughton, and beyond have been neglected for 20 years. It’s time to stop the rot, end the empty promises, and fight for real change in our villages—from Braceby and Sapperton to Irnham, Haconby, and Pointon. Lincolnshire deserves better.

Priority 1: Shake up Lincolnshire Establishment

Let’s shake up the Lincolnshire establishment. Elect me, and I’ll fight for your concerns with energy, break the rotten status quo, and provide a One Week Guarantee to respond to your concerns. I’ll be open and easily reachable by phone, email, and social media.

Priority 2: Stop Wasting Taxpayers Money

Stop wasting taxpayer money: I'll hold contractors, civil servants, and councillors accountable for every penny squandered on consultants, expenses, or inflated contracting arrangements. And I won't claim a single expense. click for more details Priority 3: Make Westminster Pay for Flood Defences

Flooding is a countywide crisis, and we need urgent action. I’ll work with everyone across Lincolnshire to demand proper funding from central Government and hold companies accountable for contributing to flooding risks:

Collaborating with the Community: I’ll work with residents to develop a local action plan that we can present to the County Council, ensuring resources and expertise are delivered quickly.

Make Westminster Pay for Flood Defences: No more endless tax rises to fund flood defences that are draining people’s pockets. We want a long-term solution paid for properly by central Government.

Priority 4: No More Botched Potholes

Since 2010, Lincolnshire hasn’t been birthing babies—it’s been birthing potholes! With 180,000 reported compared to 105,000 births, that’s nearly two potholes for every person. I’ll hold road repair companies accountable and ensure durable solutions to fix this mess!
