Julia Tickridge
Candidate for Weaver Vale

People in Weaver Vale are being short changed by this government. I want to give people hope for the future by promoting sustainable investment in business and the town centres of Runcorn, Northwich and Frodsham to provide training programmes, real apprenticeships and jobs. I want to make sure that people in Weaver Vale have the world class NHS they deserve.

I have a strong connection to Weaver Vale. I first came to Runcorn in 1982 to visit my husband's family from Halton Lodge and am currently a Northwich councillor. I’m involved locally with the Samaritans, Carers UK, Dementia Friends, Mid-Cheshire Foodbank and Sir John Deane’s College.

I’ve employed my language skills in manufacturing industry, including working for ICI Speciality Chemicals in Germany. I've worked for the Careers Service and in Further Education, alongside family and caring responsibilities.

Good communication - listening to and empathising with people is very important to me. Every week I am on the doorstep and hear how hard life has become under this government and will continue to do this if elected as MP. I will serve the needs of Weaver Vale by listening to people's problems and representing people who deserve better.

Politicians are not all the same. I've had "real" jobs and "real" life experiences before I become involved in politics which has made me want to stand up, speak out and take action. I've faced many challenges in life, but I've always stood up for what I believe in and I will take Weaver Vale's voice to Parliament.
