John Penrose

Parliamentary Candidate for Weston-super-Mare

John is the son of 2 teachers and a former Governor of Weston College. First elected to Parliament in 2005, he has successfully campaigned for the Banwell bypass, saving Birnbeck Pier & his jobs fair helps local jobseekers find their dream jobs. His plans for the future of our area include:

  1. Cut The Jams
    J21 has been upgraded & the Banwell bypass is underway. But all the new homes mean even more traffic, so we’ve got to keep going!
  2. Regenerate Weston
    More homes & investment in Weston will regenerate our town, make homes more affordable, & stop urban sprawl on greenfields too. 
  3. More Community Police
    Extra bobbies on the beat mean a safer Weston that’s better for residents, visitors & business investors too.
  4. A Bigger Hospital, More GPs & More NHS Dentists
    Weston is a growing town so our local health services have to keep up. We need more GP & dentist appointments, plus shorter waits for treatment. 
  5. Better Local Skills & Jobs
    A high-skilled workforce helps Weston attract well-paid jobs and employers to invest in our town.
  6. Deliver Net Zero Affordably For Everyone
    John leads the Commission for Carbon Competitiveness, because Net Zero shouldn’t cost the earth. We can grow cleanly and cheaply at the same time
