Elouise is a passionate health professional and dedicated towards championing local issues.

Full statement

She has lived in Washington with her family for many years. Her long career working right across Wearside has given her extensive hands-on experience delivering public services, so she really understands the everyday challenges that families here face. She is determined to fight for real change and make sure Washington, and especially our ward, gets the investment and attention it deserves.

For years, Elouise has supported children, young people and their families across Washington and Wearside. She has made a real difference to their lives. She has also represented the North East at national level, helping to shape policies that actually improve things on the ground.

She is standing because she has had enough of Washington being treated as second-best to the city centre. For far too long our ward has been overlooked on investment, local services and having our voices properly heard. While millions have been poured into the city centre, our families and young people have been left behind – whether it’s decent community facilities, safe places to play, or simply being listened to. That stops now.

Elouise is warm, energetic and fiercely determined. She brings fresh energy, real-life experience and a direct approach. She is committed to standing up for residents who feel ignored or let down.

Elouise focuses on:

• Fair funding and proper investment right across the ward: in Rickleton, Harraton, Fatfield, Staithes, Teal Farm, and Mount Pleasant; along with our industrial areas of Wear and Pattinson
• Better facilities and community spaces for families, children and young people
• High-quality local services that actually deliver
• Strong support for local clubs and community venues
• Ensuring residents’ voices are heard loud and clear

Her aim is simple: she will listen to residents, stand up for what really matters, and do her utmost to get things done. No more excuses, no more broken promises.
