Creating a Wycombe Town Council, tackling “unfair” immigration policies and opposing HS2 are among Ukip’s manifesto pledges to the electorate.

The party’s parliamentary candidate, David Meacock, emphasises the party’s ‘charity starts at home’ policy as one of his main priorities.

What you can expect if you vote Ukip:

1. Charity starts at home:

  • £100 billion manifesto changes to how tax payers’ money is spent 
  • Reducing Foreign Aid
  • Exiting the EU Replacing the Barnett Formula

2. Australian points-based objective immigration:

  • This would end the current discriminatory immigration policies, which unfairly makes it easier for EU migrants and visitors to come to the UK than for people coming from other countries such as the world.
  • The five-year ban on unskilled labour migrants will give Wycombe’s youth the chance to get a foot on the employment ladder at reasonable hourly pay.

3. Housing: 

  • Using brown field sites and regenerating empty houses would at a stroke safeguard the green belt and remove the threat of premature utilisation of reserve sites for housing (e.g. Gomm Valley, Terriers Farm). 
  • The current proposals are only part of the UK’s current firefighting of uncontrolled immigration which requires a house to be built every 7 minutes, rather than giving people who have grown up in Wycombe the chance to buy an affordable home.

4. Wycombe Hospital:

  • Fight to get back the Wycombe Hospital A&E and maternity wards

5. Unitary authority:

  • Press for a Unitary Authority to run Bucks, saving annually over £20 million and creating efficiencies in the delivery of public services.
  • Would bring decision making about Wycombe back to Wycombe by creating a Wycombe Town Council.

6. HS2:

  • Opposing HS2, which is going to cause huge construction disruption to local traffic for no benefit to local people, or even the UK, as a whole.
