Scott is campaigning to get a better railway and transport infrastructure in North Cornwall and the South West to make it easier and faster for the people of North Cornwall to travel.
Scott wants the Government to address the disparity between pupil funding in urban and rural schools.It remains the case that a school in one part of the country can receive over 50 per cent more funding than an identical school in another part of the country, and it is important to make schools and early education funding fairer.
In June 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. 17.5 million people voted to leave - the biggest mandate for anything in British political history. Scott wants to see North Cornwall benefit from Brexit, especially its farming and fishing sectors, while continuing to receive regional funding
Public toilets are under threat of closure in Cornwall, and Scott wants to see them remain open through a change in finance and law. Like shops, public toilets are subject to Non-domestic rate payments, otherwise known as business rates. This, on top of maintenance costs and water bills, means they are not cheap for local authorities to run.
Residents in North Cornwall have to travel considerable distances to access specialist NHS services. I shall campaign to get more frequent, local and specialised National Health clinics in North Cornwall.
I fully agree that as many services as possible should be provided locally. When elected I shall join my colleagues who want to expand the scope and responsibilities of the GP and community hospital services. I am determined that our excellent doctors, nurses, midwives, GPs and all other staff are given the support they need.
First and foremost, immigration is very important to our economy. The UK has always been an open nation which embraces people from around the world to live and work here and contribute to our society. We have people working in the NHS, in government, in schools, in public services and setting up businesses from all over the world which is something to celebrate and be proud of.
Scott has consulted with local businesses and campaigned to reduce the bureaucracy and taxation with which small traders in particular are burdened. Scott shall continue this campaign, especially fighting for small businesses. The Conservative-led Government has delivered 3690 apprenticeships in North Cornwall, enabling young people to start a career.
Scott is an active campaigner for affordable housing for local people. Scott was disappointed that one of the first things the newly formed Liberal Democrat/Independent Cornwall Council did was to try to reduce the percentage of affordable housing being built on council and other public owned land. This would have directly affected the people of Cornwall making it difficult to find affordable housing.
