Your Candidates for Leopard Hill Ward

I am one of the Labour candidates for Leopard Hill.  I am retired and give my time to a variety of voluntary groups across the City including Foodbank, Worcestershire Royal Hospital, community transport, an asylum seeker and refugee group and also as a Friend of Foregate Street Station.

I am standing because, along with my enthusiasm to support our local community, I also have a background in finance and project management which are skills that are needed to navigate the City through difficult times. Successive Conservative Governments have cut core funding to Worcester completely. More than ever, we need a Council that is a unified, focused on improving our City whilst ensuring that residents are not left behind.

As your Labour Councillor I would be diligent in helping resolve your issues and concerns and pro-active in improving the local area, always seeking your views.

I have lived in Worcester almost all my life and am bringing up my young family here. For the past 15 years, I have worked at Tesco’s in Warndon Villages and have come to know many local people and their families. I feel very much part of the local community and would love nothing more than to have the chance to represent you on Worcester City Council.

After 14 years of Tory failure and chaos, there’s so much that needs fixing. Labour councillors in Worcester are committed to investing in skills training and securing better jobs, supporting active travel and continuing the urgent work to protect the environment and biodiversity.

At a very local level, making sure residents in Leopard Hill ward are well served, and local businesses and services like the Lyppard Hub are protected, would be top priorities for me.
