Harpenden District Councillor & Candidate for Harpenden East

About Matt

Local Residents have selected Matt Stephens to be one of their candidates for Harpenden East in this year’s District Council elections.

Matt said: “I am delighted to be selected as a Conservative candidate for Harpenden East. My family and I have lived in Harpenden for ten years now and we love the Town and feel very much part of it. Harpenden really is an amazing place to live and I want to do everything possible to see it continue as a great, safe and enjoyable environment to live in. Two of my children attend St George’s and one is at Crabtree Junior’s school so schooling is at the top of my agenda. 

I will also be working alongside my colleagues to ensure we plan properly for growth and that any planned housing is developed following consideration of the impact on local infrastructure particularly parking, schools and road traffic. I have been a District Councillor since 2016 and hope to continue delivering local residents’ priorities if elected in Harpenden East. I am currently the Chairman of the Planning (Development Control) Committee North, covering Harpenden.

Over the last 2 years I’ve been Chair of PARC the charity raising funds for a new playpark for Rothamsted and I’m delighted that we have reached the £250,000 target and families will benefit from the new facilities this summer!"
