Welcome to my website, which is intended to keep everyone in the community up to date with some of the key issues affecting us all here in our Tonbridge County Constituency within beautiful west Kent.
 
I entered into politics to help improve our people's lives , and seek election in 2024 to represent you, the people of our new Tonbridge County Constituency, as we look to work together to improve the quality of our day-to-day lives.

Five of the key constituency improvement programmes I am actively driving and supporting are:
1.) West Kent Bypass - The reinstatement of the missing east-facing slip-roads at M25 Junction 5 Sevenoaks to connect the M26/A21 facilitating our long overdue west Kent bypass from the districts of Malling to Sevenoaks to Tonbridge. A campaign to improve the safety, health from traffic air pollution, environment, climate and quality of life for thousands of our folk here in West Kent.
2.) Greater Local Authority Funding - for our Kent County Council, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council and Sevenoaks District Council for protection of our key service provisions such as highways Pot hole repairs, household waste recycling centres, key bus services and our libraries.
3.) Countryside initiative - Protecting and nurturing our area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB-Kent Downs) and Greenbelt of our Constituency whilst realising the need for homes, without the damaging consequences of mass housing to our fragile environment.
4.) Local Community Housing needs - Focus on housing needs specifically for the local younger generation.
5.) TMBC Climate Neural 2030 Strategy - key stakeholder in ensuring this  is achieved  along with continuous improvement of our Waste and Recycling services.

Whilst I appreciate and respect allegiance to party politics in Parliament at Westminster, by stepping back from national policy when it comes to local issues, there is greater opportunity to achieve our Constituency and community goals by supporting the local Independent man.

That is why i am proud to accept the Independent Alliance (Kent) nomination as 2024 Parliamentary Candidate to represent our needs and voice here in Westminster for us all.
 
With your support, anything is possible in a democratic society where voices are heard.
 
Thank you for your continued support.
 
Tim Shaw, Independent.
