With Hitchin & Harpenden set to split into two new seats at the next election, I have had to make the decision on which half of the seat to represent after that election. My family and I live in the new Hitchin seat, so I have made the decision to contest that seat at the election - and on Saturday I was delighted that Nigel Gardner has been selected as the Conservative candidate for the new Harpenden & Berkhamsted seat. I look forward to working with Nigel to deliver for residents in Harpenden, Redbourn, Sandridge, Wheathampstead and Jersey Farm.
