Vanessa Crichton

UKIP does not have any local policies as such because until we leave the EU and save the vast sum of money we pay for the privilege of membership we cannot do much. UKIP is very keen to support our hospitals and reduce the management, giving more control to doctors and nurses. We will help small businesses when we leave the EU so they will not drown in the thousands of directives they have to implement every week. Control will be brought back to local government and therefore people and
communities when we have proper democracy and freedom which we seem to have
forgotten how good it felt!
