Lower bills are the key to Tory success in seats like North Shropshire

Earlier this year, I was proud to triumph in the Hartlepool by-election and become the first Conservative MP to serve the town for 57 years. As I said in my speech after the result was announced, my campaign was based on the local issues of real concern to the community. My focus was always on putting Hartlepool at the centre the of the post-pandemic recovery by creating more jobs and apprenticeships and attracting extra investment to the town.
