Helen Hobhouse
Liberal Democrat Candidate for Sevenoaks Rural South
In a few days we choose our next County Councillor. People across Sevenoaks Rural South are backing Liberal Democrat Helen Hobhouse.
Helen is a local candidate with a plan to tackle the issues that county councillors actually manage, not vague national grievances.
The Conservatives have entirely mismanaged Kent County Council.
“The result is that we send Edenbridge children on long commutes because the County Council has not built the new secondary school that is so needed. The Conservatives also don’t take account of local views on infrastructure but promote policies that will worsen pollution in our local rivers,” says Helen.
“The bread-and-butter issues matter to everyone I speak to on the doorsteps. The deterioration in our bus services, our road surfaces and, above all, our social care provision for the most vulnerable in our community. The Conservatives have badly let us down. A vote for me will send a clear message to them and, better still, elect a real champion for this area’s interests.”
Letter from Helen
Dear Residents of Sevenoaks Rural South,
I ask for the privilege of serving as your County Councillor for the next four years. I am sure you feel, like I do, that we really have to sort out the management of our county.
I am determined to bring positive change to the County Council and, above all, to be a strong voice for every resident in our area.
In a time of great change, I’ll make sure your interests stay front and centre at Kent County Council.
Thank you,
Helen
Helen's Plan for our Area
1. TRANSFORM OUR NHS
I will support the essential investment needed to transform Health and Care services across Kent to ensure local people have access to GP appointments, as well as mental health and maternity services.
2. PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT
We must boost recycling and hold water companies to account for the pollution in our rivers. Lib Dems will make sure the Garden of England remains green for everyone to enjoy.
3. SENSIBLE REORGANISATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Reorganising local government brings opportunities and risks. We must be represented by people who have the interests of residents and are motivated to put the needs of people ahead of narrow political interest.
The result is that we send Edenbridge children on long commutes because the County Council has not built the new secondary school that is so needed. The Conservatives also don’t take account of local views on infrastructure but promote policies that will worsen pollution in our local rivers
