Gillian began her re-election campaign in Prinsted this week with a rally for volunteers.
She is seeking a third term as the Member of Parliament for Chichester, having won the seat twice before in 2017 and 2019.
Gillian came to politics relatively late in life after an almost 30 year career in business. This started when she left school at 16 to complete an apprenticeship at an AC Delco car factory in Liverpool.
During her time as an MP Gillian has championed Chichester’s communities. Her achievements include saving several small primary schools from closure in Midhurst, Compton and Chichester, securing £6 million to improve Chichester College’s skills education offering, and setting up a new Rural Crime Unit with Sussex Police.
She has also fought hard to protect the area’s environment and has successfully campaigned to reduce housing targets to more sustainable levels. Gillian has also secured £56 million from Southern Water this year to improve sewage infrastructure across the constituency.
Speaking to volunteers yesterday, Gillian said:
"We have a really positive message to take to the people of Chichester at this election of delivery at a local and national level.
"From investment in our sewage infrastructure and more funding for special needs schools locally, to falling inflation and a growing economy thanks to the Conservatives' national economic plan.
"I'll be taking this message on the road across Chichester and the surrounding communities for the next five weeks, meeting thousands of people on the way and listening to their priorities for the future of our area."
