Steve Lambert has been selected as the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the new Aylesbury constituency.

The new constituency boundaries for Aylesbury include Wing and Ivinghoe, Aston Clinton, Edlesborough, Bierton, Wingrave, Kingsbrook, Buckingham Park, Watermead, Fairford Leys and all of Aylesbury Town.

Mr Lambert said:

“Having spent the last year as Mayor of Aylesbury I have seen first hand how 14 years of a Conservative government and council have undermined our health service and public services. The Conservatives have pitched community against community and sown division in our town and country.

The brand new Aylesbury constituency has an opportunity to make a change in the general election.

With 33 local Lib Dem councillors delivering for our community against 18 conservatives and no Labour, we have the bedrock of change in our grasp by electing me as our Member of Parliament.

I am honoured to be standing in this General Election, in a place I have called home for nearly a quarter of a century, a place I have been a councillor and Mayor for.

This is our community we live and work here and we deserve a fair deal from our MP and for our country.

Over the coming weeks I will continue to speak with you about the issues that matter to us as a community.

Whether that is local healthcare, schools, infrastructure, international affairs like Gaza and Ukraine.

This is our opportunity to make a lasting and impactful change, like we did in neighbouring Chesham and Amersham.

I’m looking forward to the campaign and winning for us all on 4th July”.
