Welcome to Steve Gilbert's website

Thank you for visiting my website. I am the new Liberal Democrat MP for St Austell & Newquay.

I would like to thank everyone who supported me in the recent election, I am truly honoured to be elected as the first Member of Parliament for the new constituency of St Austell & Newquay.

The boundaries of the new seat stretch from Fowey, in the south east, along the south coast, past Mevagissey to East Portholland, and then up through the clay country to Newquay and along the north coast, through St Columb Major, to Mawgan Porth and Trenance.

During the campaign - I set out my priorities to always put local people first. I will fight for a fair deal for Cornish services, to protect the Cornish Countryside and for Cornish jobs & affordable homes. These are the issues that I will fight for in Parliament.

Remember, I am here to help you - so if there is anything I can do to help, please get in touch. Use the contact details page on the left.

I hope to see you soon,

Stephen Gilbert
