Stephen comments, \"Beckenham is a major transport hub that deserves its share of modern, well planned facilities.\"\r\n\r\n\"I know that modernising will not be a quick job. If this is to be successful, it will take many years. If I am elected your MP, I will have the time and stamina, to see this major project through to completion,\" says Stephen. \"A young, vigorous MP is what Beckenham needs this time.\"\r\n\r\nI have lived in Bromley for eight years.
