Wells MP James Heappey has spoken of his honour to be reselected as the candidate for the next General Election. The incoming boundary changes mean Mr Heappey will be the candidate for the newly-named Wells and Mendip Hills seat.
He said: "It is a huge honour to be selected as the candidate for the new seat of Wells and Mendip Hills. Obviously, the boundary changes will mean that Burnham-on-Sea, Highbridge, Berrow, Brean, Glastonbury, Street and the surrounding villages of Ashwick, Chilcompton and Stratton will no longer be in my patch.
"I will miss serving them in Parliament if successfully returned as MP for the new seat. It is important to note that until these boundary changes come in at the next election, I will continue to serve all of those communities and it remains my privilege to do so."
