At the next General Election Nigel Rock will contest the new constituency of Kenilworth & Southam on behalf of the Liberal Democrats.
This is one of only 13 brand new constituencies created in in the United Kingdom as a result of the most recent Boundary Commission review.
All the local polling evidence shows that the Liberal Democrats will be the main challenger to the Conservatives here. There is not a single Labour county or district/borough councillor in the whole of the new constituency.
High Speed Rail - London to Birmingham
New!
Mon 15th Mar 2010
The Government's proposal for a high-speed rail route from London to Birmingham has 20% of the length of route between the M25 and M42 in the new constituency of Kenilworth and Southam. If the proposal in its present form goes ahead there would be a significant impact on our locality. There are elevated sections close to Ladbroke, Southam and Kenilworth and the suggested line parallels the Welsh Road past Offchurch and Cubbington. The trains would run at 'up to' 250mph and there are no stations between here and London.

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain. "

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy. "
