David Dobbie is the Liberal Democrat candidate for Sherwood Forest in the 2024 General Election.
David Dobbie and his partner Pam have children at secondary and primary school, so they know the issues facing our education system. David and Pam run a school community clothing group to reduce costs to parents during this cost-of-living crisis.
Our NHS is the top priority for the Liberal Democrats. “Everyone should be able to rely on quick access to high-quality local health services when they need them” says David Dobbie. “We must make it easier to get a doctor or dentist appointment.”
“It is important for local communities to have their say in the planning process” says David. As Chair of planning on his Town Council, David Dobbie brought in a Neighbourhood Plan which received strong approval in a local referendum.
David Dobbie works for a manufacturer in Newark & Sherwood. He has previously worked as a science teacher at Rufford Comp and as a Laboratory Technician at Ollerton and Gedling.
“I want to see the Major Oak extension to the Robin Hood Line go ahead without delay” David says. He is very familiar with the proposed route as he previously worked as a Coal QA Tester at High Marnham.
David Dobbie is very concerned about the decreasing quality of water in our rivers. As a representative to the Trent Valley IDB (Internal Drainage Board), David is anxious about increasing flooding events and how polluted floodwater impacts the land. “The Liberal Democrats will always fight to protect our environment” he says.
