Isle of Wight Liberal Democrats name by-election candidate – On The Wight

We are delighted to announce that Nick Stuart has been adopted by the Liberal Democrats as the candidate for the forthcoming by-election in the Brighstone, Calbourne and Shalfleet electoral division.

Nick has lived in the ward for many years, and is a parish councillor on both Brighstone Parish Council and Calbourne, Porchfield and Newtown Parish Council.

Former senior civil servant He is a former senior civil servant with expertise in science and technology and a former school teacher here on the Isle of Wight.

Currently he runs his own business as a fencing coach.

Flux: Is best placed to win this seat Chair of the Isle of Wight Liberal Democrats, Steph Burgess Flux, says,

Nick is a fantastic candidate with a wealth of experience.

He works hard for his local communities and is best placed to win this seat as he came second last time, with an increased vote share, to the resigning councillor, Steve Hastings.

Stuart: Have worked for residents on all sorts of issues Nick is quoted as saying,

As a Parish councillor I have worked for residents on all sorts of issues. From conservation of the local environment, planning, traffic and parking issues through regular litter picking and planting a hedge in the cemetery.

Ive also enjoyed getting to know people in our area, enjoying events and talking about the important things in our lives. All the things that make this area special from the landscape and heritage to the people and strong community groups. We can recognise that, in spite of the current challenges, there are opportunities for local industry and local communities.

If elected I will carry on talking to and helping residents, while representing our interest in the Council and other groups on the Island.
