Helen Maguire

Helen Maguire is a local entrepreneur, former Army captain in the Royal Military Police, and a campaigner for a long promised new third NHS hospital for Epsom & Ewell.

Having campaigned to raise over £500K to rebuild her fire ravaged local sports centre into a more inclusive sports and social centre for the local community, for which she received the British Empire Medal, Helen decided to stand as the Liberal democrat candidate for Epsom & Ewell with three main priorities….

Firstly, she is keen to improve the overall health situation in the constituency given the failure of successive Conservative administrations to build a long promised new emergency care hospital and the upgrading of Epsom & St Helier district hospitals.

Secondly, she is passionate about addressing the Tory economic policy failures which led to high inflation and the cost-of-living crisis, impacting most on the least well off in our local communities.

Thirdly, Helen is pursuing Liberal Democrat policy to ensure water companies pay for the systemic pollution of our rivers and waterways – an environmental catastrophe that she believes has been caused by the persistent inaction of successive governments to tackle a known underinvestment issue.

Helen will bring a ‘can do’ attitude to her role as an MP should she be elected. She is not a person to ‘talk out’ issues, but a do’er who gets things done. It’s one reason why she is so critical of recent Conservative administrations who appear to talk a great deal but accomplish very little – the building of a new local hospital being a prime example.

Helen lives locally, is married with three teenagers, and understands the needs of her local community. Her active service as a soldier in Bosnia and Iraq have taught her how to make decisions and then implement them …. for the service of all!
