Joseph's story

Joseph Gaunt is the Chair of Harrow Liberal Democrats. He lives in Harrow with his partner, and is known for his con the issues residents raise with him on the doorstep: the cost of living, getting to see a GP, and the state of the streets, parks and high streets that make this corner of north-west London such a good place to live.

For Joseph, the case for change starts with the local economy. Families and small businesses across Ruislip, Northwood, Pinner, Eastcote and Rayners Lane are being squeezed by energy bills, mortgage costs and the price of the weekly shop. He argues that a bold new deal with Europe, including joining the single market, would help cut costs and get growth going again.

He is a strong voice for our NHS. Joseph has campaigned against threats to local cancer services and for better access to GP appointments, arguing that residents should not have to travel across London for care that ought to be close to home.

On the ground, Joseph works with Liberal Democrat teams all year round — listening on doorsteps, acting on casework and pressing the council on the basics: potholes, pavement repairs, rubbish collections and road safety outside schools.

Joseph believes residents are too often taken for granted between elections. He is building a campaign that puts local people first, speaks plainly about what is happening in Westminster, and holds decision-makers to account.
