In Parliament Stephen will:

I want to improve recycling facilities and improve public transport in our area."

"I will always stand up for traditional doctors' surgeries. We have a right to visit a friendly local doctor and not have to travel miles for treatment."

• Vote to end the WAR IN IRAQ. Stephen says:

"It's been five years since Labour, backed by the Conservatives took us to war in Iraq. I will be voting to bring our brave troops home from Iraq."
