I thought it would be useful to introduce myself as your Conservative candidate for Silverhill. To prevent confusion, I am Matthew J Lock where as your existing COUNTY councillor is Matthew R Lock (not any relation).
Congratulations to Gaby and her supporters for making this first step in bringing the community of Silverhill together on this issue. I fully support your campaign and look forward to actively supporting you after the elections on 1st May when I am keen to keep this issue apolitical and support Silverhill residents.
I have spoken to hundreds of residents in the ward and I can safely say that the majority are against this proposal with its obvious impact on the long term quality of life through the impact of traffic congestion and the loss of business by many of our community shops.
Damien Green MP and Alan Duncan MP (shadow cabinet for business and enterprise) have already been to Silverhill to listen to the thoughts of shop keepers and the community.
Best wishes in your work
Matthew J Lock
