I’m Liam Mackenzie, standing as your local District Council Candidate for the Ducklington Ward.

Full statement

It’s been 12 years since my family put down roots in Ducklington and from day one this community has embraced us - with its heritage, traditions, and annual events that bring everyone together. Now I want to give something back. That’s why I’m standing for West Oxfordshire District Council - to ensure the voices of Ducklington, Curbridge, Lew, and Colwell Green are heard and your priorities are delivered.

I’m an engineer who has worked in Formula 1 to deliver high quality projects on time and under tight budgets. That same approach is exactly what local government needs right now. Too often are fundamental services forgotten, while the Lib Dem-run council pushes ahead with projects that residents oppose, such as closing the Woodford Way Car Park in Witney to build new houses. This risks making it harder for key workers and customers to park, harming local businesses.

My priorities are clear: Conserving our way of life by freezing council tax, and insuring that infrastructure comes first with new homes, not last. Protecting our countryside by tackling fly tipping with tougher enforcement and holding Thames Water to account over the state of our rivers. And supporting our traditions by backing local businesses, farmers, and our cherished village events.

If elected on May 7th, I will work tirelessly for the Ducklington Ward to deliver real results for our communities.
