Why I want to represent you...

Emilie and Paddy1As you may have read in the local paper, our Labour MP Paddy Tipping has announced he will retire at this year’s General Election. Paddy Tipping has been your MP for the last 18 years and I know many people in the Sherwood constituency will miss him.

My name is Emilie Oldknow and I am Labour’s candidate for the General Election, hoping to take over from Paddy.

I’m a local lass who was born in Rainworth and went to school in Ravenshead. I have lived the majority of my life in Sherwood.

I want to stand up and fight for local families, pensioners and for the hard working people across Sherwood who play by the rules. My message to local people in Sherwood is simple: I’m on your side. That’s why I want to represent you.

I want to know your views

Please take a few moments to tell me about your hopes and concerns for Sherwood in the future - whether it's on the economy and securing jobs in the area, or maintaining and improving our public services such as schools and the NHS or making sure we have proper transport links. I want to know your views.
