I am a strong believer that local communities need a strong voice and deserve a person with a wide range of lived experiences in order to be represented well in Government. It is best done from the ground up, person by person and street by street. I bring with me a wealth of experience in my role as a Councillor and experienced board member, sitting on various charity boards.
I want to put Bedford on the map and ensure that your voice and views are heard in Parliament. You will regularly see the Bedford and Kempston Conservative team – Councillors and myself knocking on doors and meeting people across Brickhill, Castle, Caudwell, De Parys, Goldington, Harpur, Kempston Central, East, North and South and in Newnham, Putnoe, and Queens Park.
I am keen to meet with voluntary organisations and charities, faith communities, and businesses in the area to listen to the views of as many people as possible – I want to hear your views on how we can make Bedford and Kempston an even better place to live, work and study. Please get in touch, if you would like to reach out to me or would like me to visit your organisation.
Having worked in the early year's sector, I am passionate about supporting families and young people with better outcomes, no matter what start they have had in life. As someone who regularly works with small businesses alongside global organisations, I know that businesses are the backbone of our Country; I am keen on ensuring that Bedford and Kempston is the best place to start and run businesses of all sizes.
On a personal note, I experienced homelessness during my teenage years; this left a huge impact on me personally. I understand that access to good jobs and education can change someone’s life, as it did mine. This is why I will ensure if I am elected as your Member of Parliament, that the young people living in this constituency have the best opportunities to progress through education and jobs. As a parent of a teenage son and a younger child, I understand the challenges that parents experience juggling work and family and in some instances, Neurodiversity needs of their children too. This is an area that I am passionate about and would like to influence in government to give our children the best opportunities and start to life.
I studied for my MBA in Senior Leadership and Management whilst managing children and a career. I know what it is like to juggle work and family. I want represent Bedford and Kempston in Parliament. Quite frankly - this area deserves better. Bedford and Kempston deserves a Member of Parliament that will fight for investment, fight to attract businesses and skilled jobs into the area, so that there are opportunities for young people to grow their skill set and ultimately grow the Bedford economy.
I will champion improvements in healthcare and family services, supporting businesses and building sustainable transport infrastructure, tackling air pollution throughout the constituency, and increasing environmentally sustainable practices through planning processes that developers adopt I will fight for improved housing and the regeneration of Bedford Town and Kempston Town. The Bedford and Kempston constituency deserves a Member of Parliament that will ensure that the voices of local communities are heard in Westminster and the change is felt in the local area. Please fill in the survey in the Residents Survey section to give us the opportunity to learn more about, what matters to you.
Yours Sincerely,
Pinder Chauhan
