He has been one of the quieter MPs in the county.

But Tory hopeful James Wild thinks his track record will be enough to sway voters at the upcoming General Election.

The North West Norfolk candidate says he has been knocking on doors every day since the election was called last month and has for the most part received a "positive response" from his constituents.

Since being elected in 2019, the North West Norfolk candidate says he has delivered a lot for his constituents, who he says are his priority.

He hopes he will be reflected to continue his "focus" on delivering the rebuild of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, improvements to road infrastructure in West Winch and major regeneration projects for King's Lynn.

"I am fighting a positive campaign based on my track record.

"People recognise I have worked hard to promote the area. I hope people will re-elect me so I can continue to campaign for North West Norfolk."

While Mr Wild may be confident he can secure another term in parliament, the latest polls suggest it could be a closely fought contest.

YouGov's latest results suggest there could be just a handful of votes in it, with Labour's Tim Leaver expected to get a 35pc share compared to Mr Wild with 37pc.

Meanwhile, Reform's Phil Walton and the Liberal Democrat candidate Rob Colwell are expected to battle it out for third. 

The remaining candidate is Michael de Whalley, a West Norfolk councillor standing for the Green Party.

Speaking about the threat of Reform to the Tories, Mr Wild said: "Voting for Reform is a vote for Labour.

"There is a clear choice at this election. It is time to stick with the plan and stick with the Conservatives rather than putting it all at risk by voting Labour."
