On Thursday you face a clear choice between a hardworking local MP supporting jobs, growth and high quality services - or economic chaos under Labour.
Your vote will make a real difference to the future of this constituency and country.
Over the last five years as your Member of Parliament, I have provided help and advice to over 12,000 constituents. I have campaigned to protect our local communities from overdevelopment, supported new health services, and have secured investment in infrastructure, including superfast broadband, the A12, the A120, and rail services.
There are now more doctors and nurses in local hospitals treating record numbers of patients, more schools rated 'Outstanding' in the constituency, and more people in work as unemployment is 60% lower than its peak under Labour.
I want to build on the success we have had locally. A Conservative Government will do this by going further to provide security at every stage of your life. We will:
- Cut your taxes by raising the personal tax free allowance to £12,500 and the 40p tax threshold to £50,000.
- Support pensioners with guaranteed increases in the state pension, and freedoms to use their pension savings and pass them on tax free.
- Take the family home out of Inheritance Tax.
- Invest at least £8 billion a year more on the NHS so it's there for your family seven days a week.
- Freeze rail fares for five years and invest in improving GEML rail services.
- Provide 30 hours of free childcare a week for working families with 3 and 4 year olds.
- Control welfare and benefits to reward work.
- Help more families get onto the housing ladder through expanding Right to Buy.
Vote Conservative on Thursday 7 May 2015 for a strong and secure Britain.
