Serving as a parish councillor in Hatfield Peverel has given me real insight into the pressure that overdevelopment is placing on local infrastructure.

I see the same all over the constituency.

So could I make a difference if you elect me as MP for Witham?

To find out simply ask yourself the following questions.

Should Britain be a sovereign, independent, self-governing nation? Or should unelected EU officials continue to set policy from Brussels?

Should the UK be able to control her own borders and manage levels of immigration? Or should we keep the open borders with 27 nations that last year saw net migration at 298,000?

Should the UK be able to cut her own free trade deals with Europe and the rest of the world?

Or are you happy that since 1975 all of our global trade has been negotiated by an EU Commissioner?

Only Ukip will leave the EU, saving £9 billion a year in fees alone, restoring control of UK borders.

What about locally? Would you like the final say on whether major development goes ahead in a local referendum? Or are you happy to see continued greenfield over-development?

If you answered yes first time on each point then elect me as MP for Witham.
