Simon Frost
Simon is a carer for his wife and two children that both
have Autism. Simon cares passionately about Stapleford and
the people that live within the community.
Simon has lived in Stapleford for the past fourteen years
and over this time has witnessed the steady decline of a
beautiful town. Shops and other businesses have been struggling
and unfortunately closing down and this needs to be rectified.
Simon wishes to help bring life back into the community
and bring the people of Stapleford back together as a close
knit community like it once was.
Along with everyone else within the Stapleford Alliance
party, Simon believes that local councils are not the place
for mainstream politics, and the reason why the Stapleford
Alliance party was formed.
Simon wants to represent you, and be accountable only to
you, the people of Stapleford, and not to hide behind a
large party and the voices of the few.
Simon truly hopes that he can rely on your vote so that
he can help start re-juvinate and to breathe fresh life
back into Stapleford.
