Fighting to fix our local NHS: - Clive Jones has made safeguarding our local NHS his top priority. It's personal for Clive because he relied on local health services when he was diagonsed with cancer 15 years ago.
Tackling the cost of living: As leader of Wokingham Borough he helped deliver real action to support those in need, providing free school meals during holidays, helping people directly with £150,000 in funding for those most at risk, and opening warm spaves through the winter.
Protecting our environment: Clive Jones is fighting to make sure water companies clean up our rivers.
Under today’s Conservative government we have the highest level of taxation since 1948. Incredibly though, this was not acknowledged by the Conservatives in last weeks Autumn statement, who continued to claim that they are the party of low taxation.
In Prime Minister’s Questions, Rishi Sunak dodged Ed Davey’s question about the status of the Government’s promise to build a new Royal Berkshire hospital which serves Reading, Wokingham and South Oxfordshire.
Clive Jones, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Wokingham, and Sarah Kerr, Executive member for climate emergency and residents services, have attended their last meeting of the Wokingham Borough Council Executive.
Liberal Democrats in Wokingham have accused the Government of being ‘content with local health services crumbling’ after Wednesday’s Autumn Statement failed to provide additional funding for local health services.
Clive Jones, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Wokingham, is leaving the Borough Council executive to concentrate on campaigning to win the general election in 2024
John Redwood, Wokingham’s Conservative MP, has been criticised after voting against a Liberal Democrat amendment which would have committed the government to improving GP and ambulance wait times.
Clive Jones will be a full time local MP who gets things done for Wokingham.
Clive and his wife have lived in the area for over 40 years. His children were born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital and attended local schools.
Clive spent a successful career in business, managing multi-million pound companies. Since being diagnosed with cancer in 2008 he has been involved in raising over £800,000 for charity. He is the compassionate, effective campaigner we need as our next MP.
He’s now fighting to get a fairer deal for our area as our parliamentary candidate. After years of Conservative failure and neglect he’s fixing the problems local people face.
The Conservatives are taking our area for granted. They have broken their promise to deliver a new hospital for our area. People are struggling to see a GP or NHS dentist.
Wokingham needs a full-time MP to get a better deal for local residents. But John Redwood has a second job, earning £192,000 to work for a global investment firm rather than the people of Wokingham.
In the 2019 General Election, the Liberal Democrats were second in Wokingham, just 7,383 votes behind John Redwood. Only the Liberal Democrats can break the Conservatives hold on Wokingham.
