I am very pleased to be able to announce that Brian Higman
(above right) and Matt Facey (above left) have joined Mebyon Kernow – the Party
for Cornwall .
They are both prominent parish councillors from within the
St Austell and Newquay constituency.
Brian Higman is a former Liberal Democrat councillor, who
represented his local area on Cornwall Council for ten years between 1999 and
2009. He also served on Restormel Borough Council prior to 2003 and was Mayor
of the Borough in 1994-1995. He continues to serve on Roche Parish Council and
is involved with many local organisations, including the Roche Victory Hall.
Brian Higman has described himself as disillusioned with the
Lib Dems, whom he left in 2010, and “fed up with ‘national’ politics.”
Explaining his decision to join MK, Brian said: “Now is
the time to ensure that politics in Cornwall is
actually for the good of Cornwall .
That is why I am pleased to be joining and supporting Mebyon Kernow.”
Matt Facey is a businessman from Mevagissey who is presently
Vice-Chairman of his local Parish Council. Matt is also heavily involved with
his local community and continues to make representations on a wide range of
issues such as planning and flooding problems.
He added: “I am not interested in top-down politics
dictated by Westminster . We
have all seen the nonsense spoken by career politicians and it is time to bring
politics back to our villages and towns.”
I am absolutely delighted that Brian and Matt have chosen to
join Mebyon Kernow. They are respected champions for their respective
communities and I hope that many more people will follow their lead and help us
build a stronger team to push for a better deal for Cornwall .
