I am Lenny Rolles and I am standing as the Labour candidate, determined to give voters in the Weald of Kent a real choice and opportunity to end 14 years of Conservative chaos and complacency. I recently stood as the Labour candidate in the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner election.

I was born and raised in rural communities in Kent and live in the county with my wife and daughter. I am an experienced campaigner; whilst working for a national charity I brought enforcement agencies together, developing targeted solutions to fight and reduce organised crime. I worked with the NFU on legislation to improve the welfare of fly grazed horses and protect landowners.

For more than a decade I have served my community as a Councillor in Gravesham, chairing local partnerships and acting as a charity trustee. I am dedicated to public service, standing up for residents and representing their views. I will use this experience to champion the needs of communities in the Weald of Kent.

I am proud to be Labour’s candidate in this large rural constituency in the heart of the Garden of England. I am seeking your support in this election and will act on the priorities of people in the Weald of Kent with a Labour government that will tackle the cost of living crisis, restore our NHS, build affordable homes, repair our potholed roads, improve our bus and rail services, restore local policing, and support hard pressed farmers & small businesses. It is time for change in Britain and in the Weald of Kent too.
