Sian Flynn selected for North Cornwall

Flynnsian Sian Flynn was adopted last night as the Conservative candidate for North Cornwall during an open primary meeting.  She will have to overturn a projected LibDem majority of 5,477.

The new candidate issued the following statement:

"My family has had roots in North Cornwall for many years, and I’ve been a regular visitor throughout my life.  I am honoured to stand as your Conservative candidate.  We are in the process of moving our home here, and, until then, I have a permanent base with family in Wadebridge.  I’ve served as a Borough Councillor in Surrey, have extensive experience in the NHS, and the criminal justice system, as well as a background in fundraising.  I will bring this depth of experience to North Cornwall, to use for the benefit of all residents, to make sure our voice is heard at Westminster.  I will work with all the Cornish MPs to keep our needs high on the agenda.

“I understand local issues, and particularly how housing and farming are areas of great pressure.  I will fight for first class public services for our rural area, and to enhance the prosperity of local businesses.   I’m a straight talking, no nonsense politician, and will  bring that approach to everything I do.  I care deeply about the environment and would work with local people to balance the need for economic prosperity with guardianship of the precious jewel that is North Cornwall.”

Cornwall North selection tonight

Either Sian Flynn, Sam Manning-Smith or Alastair Watson will be selected by open primary tonight. Biographies are on the South West Conservatives' website.

The seat is held by LibDem Daniel Rogerson with a notional majority of more than 5000 votes due to boundary changes.
