Vikki Slade
Mid Dorset & North Poole

Vikki Slade, a passionate and enthusiastic campaigner, is the local choice for the 2015 General Election. Already an elected Councillor, Vikki has a well-earned reputation for getting things done for her residents.

Apart from being a full time campaigner for the communities across Mid Dorset and North Poole, Vikki is an owner of a cafè in her community. Before entering business, Vikki was a financial advisor for a building society as well as a training and recruitment manager for a national company. Vikki was also the Chair of the town’s Chamber of Trade and Commerce which successfully campaigned to increase shoppers in her local high street at the age of just 29.

As someone who understands business, it's no wonder that Vikki's number one priority is protecting the economic recovery in Mid Dorset and North Poole. She is delighted that Liberal Democrat policies which have boosted the number of apprentices across Dorset and Poole, and believes the skills and confidence that new apprenticeships gain not only boost the economy, but offer an alternative for young people to university.

As a member of Poole Council, Vikki has been involved in a number of projects including the new Anti-bullying Strategy, scrutinising and improving the standards in Children’s Centres, working to improve provision for victims of Domestic Abuse and has been a leading voice on environmental and renewable energy issues.

Vikki has spent the last few years being mentored by popular local MP Annette Brooke, who passionately believes Vikki will continue to deliver for her residents.

As a businesswoman, a passionate and feisty campaigner and someone with a reputation for working hard for her local residents, it's no wonder 1000's of residents from Wareham to Wimborne, Bearwood to Bere Regis, are backing Vikki to succeed Annette Brooke MP.
