James Nelson Grundy (born 8 December 1978)[2] is a British Conservative Party politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Leigh from 2019 to 2024.

Grundy's general election campaign pledges included respecting Leigh's vote to leave the EU in 2016;[10] fighting for vital local transport infrastructure, such as the completion of the Atherleigh Way Bypass,[11] and the re-opening of Golborne and Kenyon Junction stations;[12] and securing investment for Leigh's town centres.

[13] 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.

[14] In February 2020, a video recording obtained by LBC showed Grundy publicly exposing his genitals in front of a woman at an event in the Rams Head Inn, Lowton, in 2007.

[17] The petition gained hundreds of signatures, and encouraged Wigan Council to deliver two hours' free parking on weekdays in Leigh's town centres, increased hand sanitization stations on the high street, and free face coverings for shoppers provided to local independent businesses.
