My name is Grant Randall and I have been selected to be your local spokesperson in Rayleigh and Wickford for Reform UK.

Full statement

I want to introduce myself to you and take this opportunity to express how grateful I am to be joining this party and been given the chance, with you to make a difference in our communities.

As a resident in Rayleigh and a small business owner. During the pandemic, people like myself were hugely overlooked by the government, this is what made me turn to the Reform party and decide to try to make a change. The more I looked into the party and the various values they stood for, the more I wanted to be part of it.

After talking to various members of the party and attending the different party conferences, one thing was very clear to me, everyone had the same views, common sense! How many times have you sat around with friends and family and had the conversation “if we can see this, how comes politicians can’t” and that’s exactly what we want to do.

Bring back common sense and make changes for the better. With this in mind, I am keen to hear from as many of you as possible and to hear your views, concerns or suggestions on how we can bring changes for the better.

With the constant building in the area, it is plain for us to see that the infrastructure has hugely been overlooked. Doctors, Dentists, Schools and Traffic management should all be major factors of any planning being granted.

This would be my major focus if I were to be elected.
