Full statement

Living in Cheadle Hulme, Tom is a local councillor and has a track record of delivering for our area.

Tom was raised by his mother Kate, a voluntary sector worker who often had to work several jobs at a time to put her sons through school. Growing up in a council property, Tom saw first hand the devastating effects of both Labour and Conservative policies had on communities across the country.

Citing the moment the Liberal Democrats got his mum a council house, Tom says that was the moment he became aware of the "positive impact politics could have on people's lives."

Tom has lead successful campaigns locally to get a banking hub in Bramhall, a train station in Cheadle and to save Offerton Fire Station.

Tom is now leading the campaign to fix Stepping Hill Hospital after years of underfunding, stop raw sewage being dumped in our rivers and to get more investment into our high streets.
