person to represent Lincolnshire\u2019s first Mayor?<\/strong>
As a proud tenth-generation Lincolnshire resident, I\u2019ve dedicated my career to serving residents and communities. From leading North Lincolnshire Council to developing and agreeing the best devolution deal for Lincolnshire, I\u2019ve worked on regeneration and I understand the county\u2019s strengths and challenges, and the need to commit to delivering real, lasting change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, money is spent by civil servants based in London, they can\u2019t possibly know what it\u2019s like to live here in Lincolnshire. A Mayor will give Lincolnshire a stronger voice nationally, unlocking investment and driving decisions based on local residents\u2019 priorities. With devolution, we can improve the prospects for local residents throughout the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My priorities are clear: boost our economy by creating well-paid jobs, supporting local businesses, and improving transport, infrastructure, and connectivity, whilst investing in skills. We need to create opportunities for young people so that they can live and work in the county of their birth. I will ensure we maximise every opportunity, across Lincolnshire delivering for all residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe in empowering communities, encouraging enterprise, and ensuring value for taxpayers. These principles align with my commitment to strong connected leadership. I want residents to do well, earn a good living and enjoy a good life in a great county. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
person to represent Lincolnshire\u2019s first Mayor?<\/strong>
I was born and raised in Lincolnshire and this county made me who I am. From working on the docks to leading businesses and chairing Grimsby Town FC, I know what it takes to create jobs, grow businesses and bring investment into our communities. I\u2019m not a career politician, I\u2019m a businessman who gets things done. Lincolnshire deserves a Mayor who understands our challenges and fights for a fair deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For too long, Lincolnshire has been overlooked, with key decisions made by people who don\u2019t live here. A Mayor gives us a voice, ensuring we get our fair share of funding and investment. It\u2019s a chance to take control of our future. From fixing roads to backing local businesses and breathing pride back into our home so that Lincolnshire works for the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My focus is on jobs, transport and safer communities. I\u2019ll invest in skills and apprenticeships, get our roads running smoothly, push for better buses and rail and stand up for farmers facing rising costs and flooding risks. I\u2019ll also work with police to crack down on rural crime and antisocial behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe in fairness, opportunity and ambition. Labour values that mean standing up for working people, backing local businesses and delivering value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
person to represent Lincolnshire\u2019s first Mayor?<\/strong>
Lincolnshire is my home; I grew up, studied, and worked here. As an MP and councillor, I fought for real change, not Westminster\u2019s neglect. As Mayor, I\u2019ll push for jobs, better transport, and fair funding, while cutting waste and reckless Net Zero policies. I\u2019m ready to deliver: Lincolnshire needs a fighter, not a bureaucrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A regional Mayor gives Lincolnshire a strong, united voice to demand our fair share of funding and investment. For too long, we\u2019ve been ignored while cities get priority. With a Mayor, we can take control of transport, skills, and infrastructure then start delivering jobs, better roads, and real economic growth. This is our chance to reset Lincolnshire\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Mayor, I\u2019ll put Lincolnshire first. My priorities are to get Lincolnshire moving by investing in roads, buses, and rail. To boost jobs and skills, supporting local businesses, setting up an industry-led skills board. I will fight Westminster neglect, demanding fair funding. I\u2019ll scrap woke waste, and cut council bloat. And finally I\u2019ll ditch Net Zero madness, protect jobs, and lower energy bills, backing nuclear and hydrogen technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reform UK stands for common sense, putting people before politics, and fighting for Britain and that\u2019s exactly how I\u2019ll lead as Mayor. I\u2019ll challenge the status quo, and stand up for local people. My loyalty is to Lincolnshire, not Westminster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
