James Nelson Grundy (born 8 December 1978) is a British Conservative Party politician who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Leigh since 2019. Early life Grundy was born in Warrington, and raised on the family farm in Lowton, where he still resides. Grundy was also educated locally, having attended both Lowton St Mary's Primary School and Lowton High School. Political career Grundy was elected to represent the Lowton East ward on Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council as a councillor in the 2008 local elections. He was elected to Parliament at the 2019 general election, taking the seat from Labour's Jo Platt. This made Grundy the first ever Conservative MP to represent the Leigh constituency since its creation. Grundy's general election campaign pledges included respecting Leigh's vote to leave the EU in 2016; fighting for vital local transport infrastructure, such as the completion of the Atherleigh Way Bypass, and the re-opening of Golborne and Kenyon Junction stations; and securing investment for Leigh's town centres. In 2020, Grundy put forward two bids to the Government's Restoring Your Railway Ideas Fund, progressing his pledge to get Kenyon Junction and Golborne Station reopened, following their closure after the Beeching Report. The outcome of these bids was due to be announced in autumn 2020.
