Kevin Wilkins lives in Abergavenny, having returned to Wales after 30 years living and working around Cambridge.

Full statement

He has long experience of successful community campaigning; over the years, he has successfully fought to save a library, a post office and a bus service when they were under threat and he helped save an avenue of cherry trees from the axe. If elected, improving our NHS and protecting our rivers would be his top priorities.

"I am honoured to have been selected as a Liberal Democrat candidate for Sir Fynwy Torfaen.

Monmouthshire and Torfaen contain very different communities all of which face real challenges at the moment. Our NHS in Wales is really struggling, the economy is stalling and our beautiful local rivers are dying. We need better answers than those offered by Labour and the Tories.

I look forward to campaigning alongside Brendan and my Lib Dem friends and colleagues to offer a fair, green and humane alternative to the failings of decades of Labour and Tory rule."
