On Saturday 18th February 2023, Simon Jupp MP was selected by Conservative Party members to stand in the new Honiton & Sidmouth constituency at a meeting held at the Sidmouth Conservative Club.
Simon Jupp MP, said; "I am delighted to have been selected by Conservative Party members to stand for the new Honiton & Sidmouth constituency at the next general election. Under the most recent boundary review, the current East Devon and Tiverton & Honiton constituency boundaries are being redrawn for the next election. As a resident of Sidmouth, home is where the heart is and I'm standing where I'm incredibly proud to live. Since I was elected in 2019, I have successfully secured a new school to replace Tipton St John Primary, £15.7m from the Levelling Up Fund, a new police station for Exmouth, and multi-million-pound support for Exeter Airport during the pandemic. I have a proven track record and will continue to work hard for everyone I represent in East Devon.”
Honiton & Sidmouth is one of the new constituencies that will replace East Devon at the next general election, following a review by the Independent Boundary Commission for England. Members of Parliament continue to serve their current constituencies until the next election.
