The priority on May 7th. Stand up for Cornwall


If elected my priority will be to make sure Cornwall and this constituency’s voice is heard loudly in the halls of Westminster. For too long we have been at the mercy of politicians of every colour who have put their own Political Party or self-interest ahead of Cornwall’s interests. Mebyon Kernow is different, it is the Party for Cornwall and I will always put the interests of the people of Cornwall first. Every single vote for Mebyon Kernow will make a difference to how Cornwall is viewed from London. The Camborne and Redruth constituency which stretches from Hayle to Porthtowan and across to Budock and Gweek has many diverse needs but the greatest challenge is the inequality between rich and poor and its impact on the ability of ordinary people to live and work in the areas where they grew up. We should only build genuinely affordable houses for local need not speculative house-building for developers’ greed. Westminster must enact legislation to allow devolution of the control of planning, transport and tax varying powers to a Cornish Assembly to allow the rebalancing of the housing market and enable the people of Cornwall and their businesses to thrive.
