Dr. Ivan Camphor is standing in this year's Local elections to be our second Conservative Councillor in Pensby.
Dr Ivan Camphor is a local GP, working in Woodchurch and a resident of Barnston. He passionately believes that we need to protect our greenbelt for our well-being but importantly, for future generations. Ivan successfully campaigned with Cllr Mike Collins to oppose an application for 10 new homes in the greenbelt.
Ivan believes we need to protect and nurture a green and clean Wirral and supported the Conservative budget proposal to plant for pollinators. He is concerned about the council’s plan to not cut grass verges as it could make our community areas look run down and untidy, not to mention the health and safety issues that may arise from it.
As a working GP Ivan is very aware of issues of mental health and well-being affecting our young people and therefore he warmly welcomes investment into youth provision, bringing improved engagement and empowering our youth to be active members in our community.
Ivan and colleagues are working day and night to ensure we all get vaccinated and protected against COVID. By early March over 20 million people were vaccinated and by July every UK adult will have been offered the vaccination. What a wonderful achievement! Ivan says, “We are trying our very best to make sure that all of us remain safe and protected through these unpredictable and strange times. You can rely on us to be there for you when you need us most!”
