Carolyn Grant Biography for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk

Reforming Farming Policies for Sustainable Growth

Carolyn Grant emphasizes that current Net Zero policies and excessive regulations have negatively impacted the farming industry. Reform UK advocates for allowing farmers with land under 500 hectares to manage their properties according to their expertise and knowledge. Additionally, the organization seeks to inspire more young individuals to pursue careers in farming, ensuring a vibrant future for the agricultural sector.

Addressing the Housing Crisis in the Borders

The Borders are facing a critical shortage of affordable housing, putting local housing associations under significant pressure as they strive to meet the needs of those seeking homes. Carolyn Grant aims to assist young people in staying within the rural communities they grew up in by promoting vocational training in trades that support the construction and restoration of homes. This initiative is designed to empower the youth to build their futures while contributing to the revitalization of the Borders' housing landscape.

Strengthening the NHS Workforce

The NHS stands as the largest employer in the Borders; however, a significant shortage of medical personnel persists. Carolyn Grant proposes that Reform UK will address this issue by incentivizing healthcare professionals to return to frontline NHS roles. This plan includes offering a zero basic rate tax for three years and forgiving student loans after a decade of service, or on a pro-rata basis depending on the length of their service. This initiative aims to enhance the NHS's capacity to serve the community effectively.
