The Conservatives have crushed the economy and the people of Stratford on Avon have been left paying the price. Mortgage have skyrockted and energy bills are still too high. We are calling for an emergency support fund for mortgage borrowers, for those residents most at risk of losing their homes. The Liberal Democrats are also calling for measures to support and safeguard renters, and  would extend Free School Meals to all children in primary education and all secondary school children whose families receive Universal Credit.

Locally, Manuela has been working hard to support those most vulnerable here in Stratford on Avon. She has campaigned for a cost of living package at the district council, and is working with stakeholders to tackle food insecurity locally.

Manuela says: "I'm proud that Liberal Democrat councillors were instrumental in setting up the local charity Act on Energy 25 years ago, and that the current Liberal Democrat District Council administration continues to support the charity, which gives invaluable advice and help to residents on home energy efficiency and energy costs."

Our constituency needs an MP who understands how tough things are and will stand up for residents.
