BURNHAM-on-Sea MP has announced he has been reselected as the Conservative candidate for the Wells constituency. 

The MP tweeted to his 4,350 followers that he was 'honoured' to be standing again. 

Mr Heappey, said: "I’ll be proud to stand on my record as the MP for the Wells Constituency and on my vision for what more we can do to make sure that our part of Somerset continues to be a great place to live and work.

“The people of the Wells Constituency know the risks of voting for a candidate who would happily give Jeremy Corbyn the keys to Downing Street. By voting for me, they’ll be choosing a hard-working local MP and a strong Prime Minister.”
