Visiting Summerleaze Beach just now I was disgusted to see so much sewage. Growing up in North Cornwall I never had to experience this. I speak with families affected by this everyday. Let’s finally hold water companies to account!

They've had silence from our current Tory MP Scott Mann for too long - and were met with "brick walls".

I first got active in campaigning as a teenager because of the lack of genuinely affordable homes in Cornwall. Now the problem is far worse and our young people are forced to move away.
If elected I will stand up and fight for more social and genuinely affordable housing!
