1. TACKLING CORNWALL'S HOUSING CRISIS

I have a proven record of pressuring both local and national government, and the Labour Party leadership on the housing crisis we face in Truro & Falmouth our professional history.

In 2019, I proposed and won an alternative budget to put £3.5 million towards mental healthcare in schools, the first ever successful budget challenge of this Council.

Getting Cornwall Council to declare a Climate Emergency and commit to 2030 carbon neutrality was a high profile Labour victory

Jayne's plan to win Truro & Falmouth

I live in the constituency and have brought my son up here. I used to be a trades union lawyer for people injured at work or sacked, then a teaching assistant at Falmouth School. Now I’m a councillor representing local people. With your support and selection as your Parliamentary Candidate, I will win Truro & Falmouth for Labour:

I will campaign relentlessly and positively to earn the trust of the citizens of Truro and Falmouth in a better future with a Labour government.

I commit to reach every constituent with Labour’s message – be it by knocking on their door, appearing on their TV or radio, in their newspaper or on their social media feed.

I will bring people together and unite our local party to focus on winning. 300 people came out with me to campaign on polling day in 2017 and made the difference. It can be even better next time.

I will be a strong voice for members and constituents and continue to highlight the problems facing Cornwall and hold the Tories to account.
