Quality Housing

It's unacceptable that our people are not living in quality accommodation. I want to change that.

About Fred

I left the Royal Marines last year to stand up and serve our city.

I am really proud to live in Plymouth. My home is in the Beacon Park area, I play football every week near Home Park, and being given the chance to represent my community in Parliament is the honour of my life.

I joined the Royal Marines after graduating from university because I am a true patriot. I love England, I love the United Kingdom, and I love Plymouth.

But I know that our country and our city can be even better, and I believe that positive change is possible.

We can get our NHS back on its feet, we can grow our local economy, and we can bring the cost of living down.
