Anne Crook – Parliamentary candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green
Here the Liberal Democrat candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, Anne Crook, explains why you should vote for her.
- I have lived in the constituency of Chingford & Woodford Green for over 30 years and I know the issues which most concern the local residents: the NHS, housing, education and transport.
The Lib Dems would increase funding for the NHS by 8bn a year in real terms by 2020 making it easier for residents to get appointments. In housing, we would help first time buyers who cannot afford a deposit by introducing a Rent to Own scheme where buyers steadily build up a share in their home.
- I am a local activist and campaigner for my local party, Chingford & Woodford Green Liberal Democrats. I listen to residents and take up their concerns, speaking up for them at area committees, now local forums and at planning committees and licensing hearings.
- I studied Law at City University, successfully completing my law degree in 2005 and I think that a sound knowledge of the Law is essential for an MP, both to understand the passing of legislation and to assist constituents with legal issues.
- I am passionate about the preservation of public services e.g. the NHS, police stations & public libraries. I am fully committed to an NHS which is free at the point of use. I have campaigned to save local hospital services, the local police station and the local library.
- I would be a full time MP devoting all my time and energy to the job and I think that all MPs should be full time.
