Hello, my name is Adam Cook.

Full statement

Living in Bramley and Stanningley and raising a young family, I am passionate about our local area. Since I last stood for council last year, I have seen anti-social behaviour increase and this is unacceptable. Having asked local residents, a majority have said they do not feel safe at night, and I think that is horrible and one of my key aims if you decide to elect me on the 5th May is to reduce anti-social behaviour. Collaborating with police, increasing the number of PCSO’s, and working with local residents to get anti-social behaviour under control.

Having worked for over four years within the NHS and through the unprecedented upheaval of the Pandemic, I am used to working in a fast placed, ever-changing environment and this is something that I will bring to the council chamber.

My want to stand for council is simple, to make change, to better Bramley and Stanningley and to Freeze council tax. As during this time of financial pressures, I do not believe the council should be adding to this by increasing our council tax.

Going around the ward and talking to many of you, I know your desire to have a local councillor who is in your corner to fight to improve our local area and make sure your council tax is spent wisely. As your councillor I will be a year-round presence, making improvement, holding regular surgeries, and dealing with your issues. Not just coming around near polling day as many of you have rightly pointed out.

Bramley and Stanningley have Had a Labour Councillor for 18 years, have you seen improvement in the ward over this period.
