“I am delighted to be standing as the Labour council candidate for Lemington ward. I moved to Lemington in 2004 and now own a business here. My family, friends, customers and employees form this community and I am passionate about trying to make the area the best it can be for all residents.

I am in the heart of the community on a daily basis, touching base with many residents regularly. I have already proven myself to be very community-focused with my involvement in the monthly resident’s litter pick, my support of local causes and being instrumental in setting up our guerrilla gardening initiative. I have supported residents throughout the pandemic, providing essentials at cost price, and fundraising to provide free school meals support, purchasing and delivering food parcels.

I have forged strong links with the local primary schools, other local businesses and many residents. I hope to build and expand on this, and represent residents on both a local and city level, fighting for Lemington. I’m asking you to put your faith in me and vote Labour in May.”
