Your Reform UK County Councillor Candidate for Burntwood North – Thursday, 1st May 2025 Hello, I’m Andrew Clissett, and I’m proud to be standing as your Reform UK County Councillor candidate for Burntwood North on Thursday, 1st May 2025.

Full statement

Having lived in Lichfield and worked in Burntwood, I know the heart of our community, and I understand the everyday challenges we face. As a husband, father, and someone who’s been deeply involved in global retail operations and compliance, I know what it means to work hard, support your family, and do what’s best for your local area. That’s why I’m standing for this election. Our community deserves better, and I believe that Reform UK offers the real change we need.

I’m passionate about the core values of Family, Community, and Country. These values guide everything I do, and I promise to always put our community first. If I’m elected, I will:

✅ Bring common sense back to local decision-making, making sure the needs of our community are always the priority.
✅ Stand up against Labour’s devolution agenda, ensuring the future of Lichfield’s councils remains strong and in the hands of those who know our area best.
✅ Work to revitalise Burntwood, bringing in investment to our town centre and creating opportunities for everyone.
✅ Demand accountability from the council to ensure your hard-earned tax money is spent wisely and for the benefit of our community.
✅ Listen to you, actively engaging with local groups and making sure every voice is heard.
✅ Improve road safety, particularly in rural areas, making sure that pedestrians, horse riders, and everyone on our roads are properly protected.
✅ Tackle the problem of fly-tipping, not just cleaning up but addressing the root causes and taking real action.

Together, we can make Burntwood North a place where families thrive, where we feel safe, and where the future looks brighter. I’m committed to working hard for you, and I’d be honoured to have your support.

Let’s create the change we deserve.
