I am the Conservative candidate for the constituency of Brigg and Goole. The constituency covers a vast area stretching from the former West Riding marshland villages around Goole, to Brigg and the villages of the Lincolnshire Wolds in the east, to the Isle of Axholme in the South where the founder of Methodism John Wesley was born. Brigg and Goole covers parts of both East Yorkshire, where I have lived all my life, and North Lincolnshire where I teach in a local school. Having strong family ties on both sides of the Humber, I am delighted to be standing for election in an area I can genuinely call home. Labour hung on by just 2,800 votes at the last election making this one of the key seats at the next election.
