Who to vote for in Telford
Your choice on the ballot paper for the Telford Constituency
Alan Adams – Reform UK
I am a Telford native. Born and bred in Oakengates, I went to local schools, served in the Royal Navy as a Submariner from the age of 17, and then worked as an Engineer in factories across the borough. I understand hard work and have deep roots in our community.
My grandad fed the kilns at Blockleys Bricks, my mum worked for the company building the M54, and I remember Telford town centre when it was not much more than a Carrefour. I’ve been a proud part of Telford’s growth and evolution.
A vote for me is a vote for common sense. For values and morals and doing the right thing. It’s a vote for a smaller state, lower taxes, and less red tape. For encouraging and celebrating success. For freedom of speech for all. And for a Britain that’s Great, but that could be so much greater for us all.

Jo McKenna – Liberal Democrats
As a Consultant Orthopeadic Surgeon, Jo McKenna is passionate about our NHS. Jo understands first-hand the pressures faced by our hardworking doctors and nurses every day.
Jo is outraged by the Conservative Government’s decision to rubber stamp the closure of the Accident and Emergency Department at Princess Royal Hospital, and replace it with an Urgent Care Centre. Telford will be the largest town in England without an A&E department.
Jo McKenna backs the Lib Dem plan for the NHS, including the recruitment of 8,000 more GPs and the reform of NHS dentistry, so we can all get a doctor or dentist appointment more easily.
“Healthy children can learn, healthy teachers can teach, healthy people can work. The Conservative government has destroyed the NHS and left it a hollowed out shell. I stand not just for Telford but for the NHS and all those who work for it and need it.”
