About Stephen Metcalfe...

Stephen has been married to Angela for 23 years and they have two teenage children, Tom (20) and Katie (18).

As a married father of two children who has worked in his own business, Stephen's priorities are the same as many of the people of South Basildon & East Thurrock - concerns about health, education and law & order.

As a former local councillor, he had responsibility for customer services and ICT and then Waste Management until he gave this up in May 2007 to concentrate his time on South Basildon and East Thurrock.

He is a trustee of Age Concern Basildon and President of Northlands Park Community Association, where he has managed to attract around £60,000 of funding and sponsorship.

In his limited spare time he has enjoyed amateur dramatics, watching football and rugby, going to the gym and is actively involved with his local church.

Stephen's other political experience has seen him campaigning across much of Essex and East London. He has in particular campaigned for many years to protect our green spaces from over development and has worked with communities to find ways of engaging the young.

Stephen has determination, energy, stamina, a strong sense of purpose, and will always listen carefully to what people from all walks of life and backgrounds have to say - qualities he believes will help him represent the people of South Basildon and East Thurrock.

Stephen believes that a Member of Parliament should be honest and demonstrate integrity in everything they do: he respects the people he serves and puts duty and responsibility before self-interest.
