Lisa Smart
Hazel Grove

Lisa lives in the heart of Hazel Grove constituency in Romiley and is a keen community activist, volunteering for the New Horizons Canal boat for disabled people and their carers and Stockport Credit Union at Offerton Community Centre, amongst others.

Lisa has been a school governor for nine years and is driven by improving education in Hazel Grove and beyond. Personally, Lisa graduated from Durham University with a degree in maths, and went on to get an MBA from London Business School.

Lisa is campaigning full time on behalf of local people and working to become the new MP for Hazel Grove Constituency in 2015. Previously, Lisa worked as Chief Executive of an international development charity that provides education and resources for children and young people. Before that Lisa spent 12 years working in international finance, which, along with her voluntary community work, means Lisa understands not only the difference made by the Lib Dem income tax threshold increase to people in Hazel Grove, but also how to make sure big business pays its fair share.

Lisa is the kind of person local people want to stand up for them in Parliament. Her energy and enthusiasm speak volumes but her proven ability to get things done is what sets her apart.
