Poll candidate pledges fight to ensure countryside is not 'marred by endless pylons and solar farms'

                                                               

Dame Andrea - once worked at Grimsby department store

THE Reform UK candidate in the Greater Lincolnshire mayoral poll on May 1 has made her first pitch to Grimsby-area electors.

Dame Andrea Jenkyns insists: "If elected, I will cut wasteful spending and ensure every penny of taxpayers' money is used wisely.

"This means no funding for unnecessary roles like diversity officers and a focus on practical priorities like fixing potholes"

Dame Andrea's message comes in a newsletter entitled, Spirit of Lincolnshire, that is currently being distributed to households throughout Lincolnshire.

The politician's early childhood years were spent in New Holland and East Halton before moving to North East Lincolnshire where she was a pupil at schools in Healing and Cleethorpes.

Her education also included a period studying at Grimsby College. 

For a while she worked at Binns department store in Freshney Place, Grimsby and Valentino pizza restaurant in Market Street, Cleethorpes.

Her previous political career has included spells as a Lincolnshire county councillor, representing a Boston ward, and as Conservative MP for the constituency of Morley and Outwood.  

Dame Andrea (50) says she is opposed to unrealistic Net Zero targets and, if elected, will fight to ensure "Lincolnshire's stunning countryside is not marred by endless pylons and solar farms."

Spirit of Lincolnshire has been printed by a Leeds company.
