David Simcox has lived in Crewe his whole life and has always cared about the people in it. That is not something that came with a party membership card. It is just who he is.
Before getting involved in politics, David spent years working as a Citizens Advice Bureau advisor, sitting down with people who were struggling and helping them find a way through. Benefit checks, debt advice, court liaison. Real problems affecting real people. That work gave David a very clear picture of what life is actually like for families in this area and a straightforward determination to do something about it.
In 2024, David stood as the Conservative candidate for Crewe West, fighting on issues he had seen up close: roads that never seem to get fixed, rubbish collections under threat, and housing developments being waved through with little thought for the communities they affect. He did not win that time, but it only made him more determined to keep pushing.
Since then David has been working alongside Roger, raising issues directly with Cheshire East Council and refusing to let things get quietly buried. When the council proposed turning Crewe’s town centre into a 300-home housing estate and calling it regeneration, it was David who stood up at the committee and said plainly what most residents were already thinking: “Turning Crewe’s town centre into a 300-home housing estate is not regeneration, it’s surrender.”
David is passionate about Wistaston and Willaston. He wants to protect the Green Gap that makes these villages feel like villages, get the roads sorted properly and make sure families can go about their lives without worrying about what is happening on the street outside.
“I have lived in Crewe all my life and I care deeply about this area. Wistaston and Willaston are wonderful communities and I want to keep them that way. I am not here to tell residents what they want to hear. I am here to get things done.”David Simcox
