ALEX CHALK
CANDIDATE FOR CHELTENHAM

Cheltenham is my home town and I’ll do all I can to be the MP local residents deserve.

I was raised locally and live here with my wife and young daughter. I promise to be a champion for hardworking families in Cheltenham.

As a former councillor in Hammersmith and Fulham, I helped cut council tax by nearly 20 per cent and slashed debt. I was also chair of the planning committee which approved some of the most important regeneration projects in our capital’s history.

I now want to bring that experience to Cheltenham. I’m passionate about encouraging businesses to invest in our area and create opportunities for our young people. My priorities include:

Promoting transport regeneration, including the A417 loop road
Improving rail infrastructure so that Cheltenham can maximise the benefit from its world-famous festivals and improve its connectivity to London and the South-East
Championing high-quality hospital facilities in Cheltenham
I’ll do what it takes to deliver all these and more for the people of Cheltenham.
