My name is Sam Harper-Wallis, you may know me from my work as District Councillor for the Penkridge North and Acton Trussell ward.

Full statement

I live in the ward, I got married in the ward and I have had my first child in the ward. I love where I live, and that's why I am standing in this election as your Lib Dem candidate.

Very simply, I’m standing for the following reasons:
Protect our green spaces: developers have had free range to destroy the green spaces around our villages. This needs to end.

Fix our crumbling roads: Staffordshire has some of the worst roads in the country. Over the last three years, the council spent over £1m repairing residents' vehicles due to pothole damage! This can’t go on,

Fight for a fair deal for our villages: Developers are planning huge additional housing
numbers for our villages without planning for adequate infrastructure. I will hold them to account.

I am no stranger to holding the Conservatives to account at the District Council, if elected, I will do it again at County Council.

I’m not your typical politician, I’m just a Dad that wants a better future for his daughter and his community.

Please consider lending me your vote. I will not take it for granted.
