I'm delivering this to introduce myself as your Labour candidate for the local election on the 4th of May.

Full statement

I'm a mother of two and a member of my children's school's Parent-Teachers' Association in Addlestone. I'm a pharmacist and is the primary care network lead that leases to maximise the health outcomes in communities across the area. Every day we hear stories of friends and neighbours who are struggling to make ends meet. The Conservative Government has abandoned communities like ours and youth services in our area that help us cut down on anti-social behaviour, and are failing to help people facing the worst cost of living crisis in a lifetime. We believe you deserve a better deal. Our priorities for Addlestone include: £125k of extra, targeted cost of living support A £1.75m community green bond so as we can tackle the climate crisis without needing to wait for the Tory government to shape up Restoring a targeted yellow school bus service, cut by the Tories last year. Estate improvement plans to clean up our community and tackle anti-social behaviour. 250 new passively heated council homes for Runnymede that meets local residents' needs.
