00:40 - Hi, I'm Jen Kitchen, and this is my plan

00:44 to give Wellingborough a fresh start.

00:46 Me and my team have spoken to thousands of people

00:49 over the last couple of weeks,

00:50 and I've listened to what you've had to say.

00:52 My plan comes from what really matters to you.

00:56 One, I will bang the drum for our town centres.

00:59 I will work closely with traders to support them,

01:02 and then I will fight to bring people

01:03 back to our high streets.

01:05 I've done it before, and I will do it again here.

01:08 Two, I will work to get knives off our streets.

01:11 It's a real shock how often this comes up in conversations.

01:14 People simply do not feel safe, and that has to change.

01:18 Three, I will help fix our local NHS.

01:21 I will work with GPs and others in the health service

01:24 to get the system working again,

01:26 so people can see a GP or a dentist when they need to.

01:30 Four, sort the potholes.

01:31 Motorists pay through the nose to drive,

01:33 and the road should be in a fit state.

01:35 Five, I will put more money back in your pocket.

01:38 The cost of living crisis is the biggest issue people face,

01:41 and I'm backing Labour's plan to offer real support.

01:44 I'm proud to be Labour's candidate

01:52 for Wellingborough, Rushton, and the villages.

01:54 At the next election, the choice is clear.

02:13 I was a former Conservative councillor for 17 years,

02:36 and leader of the Borough Council of Wellingborough.

02:39 But in this election, I'm voting for Jen Kitchen and the Labour

02:43 Party.

02:44 Our former Conservative MP has exploited his position,

02:48 refused to stand down when called out,

02:51 and is costing taxpayers in excess of £100,000.

02:55 We've been let down at every level

02:57 by the North Northamptonshire Unitary Council, by our MP,

03:01 and by the government.

03:02 Wellingborough needs an honest MP,

03:05 someone with integrity that puts residents first.

03:09 That's why I'm voting for Jen.

03:11 She's hardworking, has great ideas,

03:13 and really listens to what people need.

03:15 She has a plan for our town to improve our high streets

03:19 and roads, to get knives off our streets, to help fix the NHS,

03:23 and to support people through this cost of living crisis.

03:26 We need a fresh start, and Jen Kitchen is the only person

03:29 that can deliver that.

03:31 (gentle music)

03:34 you
