About Thomas

If elected, he will work to improve public transport, protect our environment, and do more to promote Southampton’s heritage and history. 

Thomas said: “I believe that politics is about people. Politicians need to be there to help local residents when they have problems, and they need to stand up for their area, and their electorate, whether that's in Parliament or in a local council chamber. I have a strong record of working hard and delivering  for residents. I pride myself on getting things done, listening to others and standing up for what is right. 

"Southampton is a fantastic place to live, but it could be so much better. We have been let down by Labour in this city. They have brought the City Council to the brink of bankruptcy, slashed local services and have wasted your money. It needs to stop. 

“Southampton deserves better and I will always stand up for the people of Swaythling on Southampton City Council. The Liberal Democrats have a positive plan for Southampton, we just need your support to start delivering it.”

The Liberal Democrats have a strong record of success in our area. This May vote for Thomas Gravatt and the local Lib Dem team fighting hard for Swaythling.
