Will Sweet - Conservative Candidate
A little bit more about Will Sweet here below, some of you might have met him today outside Putney train station -A General Election has been called and I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I’m Will Sweet and I am the Conservative candidate for Putney, Southfields and Roehampton.I want to champion Putney, Southfields and Roehampton to give opportunity to everyone.Wandsworth is my home. This is where I grew up, went to school, got my first job, bought my first home and met my partner.Introducing Will SweetI have a track record of delivery for Putney, Southfields and Roehampton as a Wandsworth Councillor since 2014. I’d use my experience working for the Foreign Office to help us in Parliament. As Wandsworth Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, I’m listening to our schools and families. I’m boosting funding by 4% next year, continuing years of real terms budget increases. We have one of the highest levels of Outstanding schools in the country and I’ll keep it that way. I’m passionate about saving the planet, starting in Putney, Southfields and Roehampton. I’m a cyclist and runner and I’m improving air quality and protecting our nature. I’ve approved plans to make our area carbon neutral by 2030. It’s time transport worked for local commuters. I’ve been dealing with TfL and SWR. We need a second entrance and more trains for Putney, a Hammersmith Bridge solution and less congestion. We need lifts at East Putney, a better District Line and new transport for Roehampton. I know what it’s like to rent and struggle to get on the housing ladder in Wandsworth, so when I was Planning Chairman we had the highest number of new homes in London. I’ll stand up for renters and protect streets from ugly development. I have fond memories of our high streets from when my parents used to take my younger brother and me out. I’m behind plans to make Southfields village and Putney High Street more vibrant through the Future High Streets Fund. If you get woken up by planes, I know how you feel. I’m part of the legal campaign against Heathrow expansion, noise, pollution and the third runway. I’m pressing for more police to protect our local residents and children, especially from knife crime. I’ll keep working compassionately alongside local communities to tackle the causes of crime. I’m looking forward to listening to as many residents as possible over the next few weeks.
