North Cornwall were clear in selecting their winning candidate in the 2019 General Election, voting Scott Mann to once again represent the area in Westminster. Therefore the Post has rounded up some more information about the re-elected member of parliament.

Scott Leslie Mann was born and raised in Wadebridge and was educated in local schools; he still lives in the area with his family today. He has been Member of Parliament for North Cornwall for over four years, having been first elected in May 2015 and then re-elected in June 2017. He managed to secure 30,617 votes this time to be reelected to represent North Cornwall. Speaking after the result he said: "“It is a real honour to be re-elected as Member of Parliament for the third time, and I would like to thank all those who voted for me and supported my campaign.“This election was about many issues, but the biggest of all was Brexit. In our manifesto we promised to put a negotiated exit through Parliament as soon as possible, to break the deadlock and allow the country to move forward.?“Along with all Conservative party candidates in the General Election, I pledged to vote for the deal and look forward to doing so as soon as possible.”

Before serving as Member of Parliament for his home constituency Mr Mann worked for Royal Mail as a postman for twenty years, a job he was proud to do and enjoyed. Prior to his election to Westminster Mr Mann also served on North Cornwall District and later Cornwall Council representing Wadebridge West.

Outside of politics, Scott enjoys darts, football and walking the family dog. He also loves to fish, and his personal best catch was a 37lbs mirror carp he caught earlier this year.

Some of the things Mr Mann campaigned for in the run up to his re-election were:

affordable and self-build housing that people can actually afford in order to help hardworking local people get on the housing ladder; more GPs and a seven-day-a-week NHS so local people have more access to healthcare whenever they need it; improving transport links to cut journey times and help local businesses grow; more apprenticeships so young people can learn a profession and start a career; protection of our coast and countryside by opposing wind turbines and instead supporting alternative, more effective means of renewable energy such as tidal and geothermal.
