The public voice being eroded, as your district councillor I will always make our community voice heard.

Under the Conservatives, Britain will be open for business.

We’ll bring back tax-free shopping for overseas visitors, bringing billions in extra spending to British high streets and supporting the shops, hotels and jobs that depend on them.

The Government’s announcement today that it is pausing Local Government Reorganisation has once again left our communities, residents and the councils that serve them facing yet more uncertainty.

As the District Councillor for Kimpton and Codicote, my priority throughout this process has been ensuring that the voices of our villages and rural communities are heard and that any changes to local government genuinely improve the services residents receive.

The proposals to break up Hertfordshire and reorganise our councils raised serious concerns about cost, accountability and whether local decision-making would become even more remote from the communities we represent. Taxpayers should not be expected to continually pick up the bill for uncertainty and changes of direction from Government.

If the Government is serious about devolution, it should start by empowering local councillors and communities to make decisions locally and deliver the improvements residents actually want.

Whatever happens next, I will continue to stand up for Kimpton, Codicote and our surrounding villages and make sure our rural communities are not forgotten in decisions about the future of local government in Hertfordshire.
