Adam SymonsProspective Parliamentary Candidate
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.”
