Full statement

James settled in Hucknall in 2012 and now lives in the Hucknall South Division.

James works in Software Engineering for one of Nottingham’s major employers.

“I believe passionately in making Hucknall a town everyone can be proud of. This includes building a greener, more caring community; cooperation between councils on housing, infrastructure and waste; and attention to infrastructure demands before large housing developments begin.

In our area, Conservative austerity cuts to public services have gone too far. The cuts successive councils have implemented, as a result of this, has caused savage reductions in support services to the most vulnerable residents: children, the disabled, and the very elderly. The Liberal Democrats believe that our priorities should always be valuing public services and taking care of the environment.

Our Councillors will work to bring these policies into action to the best of our ability. You can rely on Liberal Democrat Councillors to work hard for you, your community, and your Ashfield.

I am proud to be standing for election in a town I care so much about.”
