Liberal Democrats - Delivering for You

Welcome

As a local representative, one of the most important things to me is to be accessible to local residents - all year round. This website keeps that going - with a wide range of information about my activities locally and nationally.

I've fought hard for our area over the last 20 years, leading campaigns to save local post offices, improve commuter trains, and get more NHS Dentists. This campaigning work goes on all year round - not just at election time.

I've been delighted that so many local people have asked to join my team of volunteers. If you want to get involved as well, or have an issue you want to raise, please e-mail me directly at enquiries@andrewstunell.org.uk.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Andrew Stunell MP

    Communities Minister Andrew Stunell has today called on farmers and rural councils to "think outside the box" to deliver more affordable housing.

    The average house price in rural areas is £250,000, yet the average salary is only £21,000 a year, meaning many local people struggle to get on the housing ladder. Mr Stunell wants to see farmers identify disused farm buildings that could be converted into new affordable homes for local people, and wants councils to look favourably on their planning applications.
