ADAM SYMONS - A Fresh Start

Yours faithfully, Adam Symons

What Adam and the Lib Dems would do for YOU!
|
Some of the things Adam has already done for our community
|
|
Born and bred here, Adam lives on the family farm with his wife and young son. He is the Lib Dems Prospective MP for your area.
 Adam is a self-employed environmental scientist who worked previously in industry and the public sector, recently managing a team with a £15 million budget.
“I’m standing to represent my home & my community.”
 A local councillor and governor of the local college, he also finds time to help out the family tourism business.
Adam is part of the community - helping out with carnivals, giving talks, and playing in local sports teams.
Adam’s community roles...
- A local councillor
- Governor of the local college
- Shadow governor of the Devon NHS Partnership Trust
- Chair of Devon’s Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee
|
Adam will work with Vince Cable to create a stable economy with a fair taxation system where the super-rich pay their share and those earning less than £10,000 pay no tax.
Cut bureaucracy within the NHS in order to invest in front-line health services.
Tackle anti-social behaviour and make sure that offenders have to give something back to their communities and face up to their responsibilities.
FAIR FUNDING FOR DEVON’S SCHOOLS. Our schools receive £375 per pupil less than most of the country. The Lib Dems pupil premium will make sure that funding is directed to where it is most needed.
Champion local businesses and encourage a strong local economy for tourism, farming, small businesses & engineering. Lib Dems want to see new apprenticeships and training for our young people. We have the local talent - lets use it!
Protect our environment by tackling waste, and stopping pollution. We are committed to a greener economy.
|
Adam has worked with local people to make roads safer, and make sure peoples’ views are listened to.
He campaigns to make sure that all residents have access to broadband and digital television.
Adam was at the forefront of trying to stop the Government closing our local Post Offices.
“I promise to stand up for everyday people.”
Adam rallied local communities to call for extra funding for local schools and for decent transport.
He stands up for everyday people who need help. Residents like Mr Jones, who was being harassed by TV Licensing.
Adam has helped with fundraising for the Children’s Hospice, and supported local nature reserves, village halls and agricultural shows.
