Liberal Democrats - To Stop Brexit
My priorities for Peterborough are better jobs, a cleaner environment and fairer services to benefit us all.
Only the Lib Dems will #StopBrexit and invest the £50billion Remain bonus in the following:
Better jobs. As an engineer and local business owner, I know new employers are coming to Peterborough, but we need higher skilled jobs to boost our local economy. Lib Dems will start by investing in free childcare from nine months and an extra £10billion a year in schools. As MP, I will prioritise recruiting more teachers because they make the biggest difference for our children. We will give every adult £10,000 to spend on retraining and new skills, making the most of innovations and Peterborough’s new independent university.
Cleaner environment. As a sustainable transport professional, I have called for Peterborough’s Conservative-run council and mayor to bring in electric buses. As
MP, I will keep demanding they swap investment into public transport, cycling and walking infrastructure to create cleaner, safer streets with less congestion. I will drive actions to tackle our climate emergency, improve air quality and protect biodiverse green spaces.
Fairer services. As a community campaigner, I lead my local residents’ association to build connections with the police, support services and between neighbours. I volunteer with the homeless. I win grants. But charities and volunteering are not enough. As MP, I will keep working to #StopBrexit which has cost £76billion so far.
