Prospective Parliamentary Candidate
Adam Symons
 The
Torridge and West Devon Liberal Democrats have selected a local man to be their
representative and to fight the next general election. Son of a local farmer,
Adam Symons takes up the post pledging to fight for a better lot for an area he
maintains has been neglected by successive governments.
Adam says, ‘I am thrilled to have been
selected to represent the area. The Torridge and West Devon constituency
has been cut adrift by successive Governments since 1980. We have not
had the support that rural regions in Wales and Scotland have had, and
the tax cuts since the 1980s have been aimed at more affluent areas. Our
constituency has some of the lowest wages in the country. We need tax
thresholds to rise so that low earners keep much more of their money. We
need and deserve better rural services such as doctors’ and dentists’
surgeries, post offices and local affordable housing. Our local rural
economy is fragile and has been neglected for far too long’
