Martin Robinson

Hello, I’m Martin Robinson and I’m proud to be standing as the Reform UK candidate in the Bury St Edmunds Tower Division by-election for Suffolk County Council.

I’ve lived in and around Bury St Edmunds for over 30 years with my family. I first moved here to work for Baker Petfoods, based in Bury. As a project manager, I helped the business become more efficient and cost-effective—skills I now want to bring into local government.

Suffolk County Council is £370 million in debt. In a shocking move, it asked the government to cancel local elections across the county—an act that I believe was aimed at covering up its own gross mismanagement.

This is not democracy. It’s deflection.

After 14 years of Conservative failure, we are now saddled with a Labour government that is making things worse. Labour has:

• Betrayed pensioners over winter fuel payments
• Launched a tax raid on farmers, threatening our food security

Local government is no better. The Conservative-led County Council is now proposing to cut local democracy altogether to "save" £20 million. Really?

Thankfully, one local election remains: Bury St Edmunds Tower Division. On 3rd July, you have a voice.

Reform UK believes in common sense politics. We will restore accountability, protect local services, and put the people of Bury St Edmunds first.

With your support, I will:

• Bring practical experience and cost-conscious leadership to the council
• Challenge the mismanagement and waste
• Stand up for local democracy and integrity

If you’re fed up with the state of the country—the direction it’s heading—then now is the time to act.

Vote Reform UK on 3rd July.
Vote for real change, and send a message that the people of Bury St Edmunds won’t be ignored.

Your vote really does matter.
Martin
