Dear Neighbour,

Thank you for the warm welcome you have given me and my team as we have been out knocking on doors, not just recently, but in the many years the team has been campaigning in this area.

Full statement

I've lived here in Shipton for eighteen years and I've served as a Parish Councillor for nearly four. I've worked hard on the issues that matter most to local people - from protecting our rivers to tackling flooding.

I love living here and I'm absolutely committed to protecting and enhancing our beautiful environment for future generations.

If elected, I pledge to attend Parish Council meetings regularly and make myself fully accessible to you, listening carefully to your concerns and acting on them wherever I can.

My priorities are clear:
• Clean up our rivers and hold Thames Water to account
• Take real action on flood prevention
• Protect and enhance nature and wildlife
• Improve public transport with better trains and buses

If elected, I will support the work that local Lib Dem councillors are already doing to protect our environment, help people with the cost of living crisis and invest in local communities.

I'm also delighted that both Charlie Maynard MP and Liz Leffman, our County Councillor, are supporting my campaign and I look forward to working constructively with them on your behalf.

Between us we will be able to do the very best for Ascott, Lyneham and Shipton.

Only four votes separated the Lib Dems and the Conservatives last time. Your vote could be the one that makes the difference.

Labour and Green supporters know this will be a two horse race so I'm very grateful to those who have already told me they will lend me their vote this time.

I very much hope I can count on your support too!

Yours sincerely,
Jan Lund
Shipton resident and Lib Dem Candidate for Ascott & Shipton ward.
