Statement to voters

I’m Rosy Greenlees and I am standing to be a City Councillor for West Chesterton because I want to give back to the community and the city I have lived in for 30 years.

Full statement



Originally from Amesbury, Wiltshire I have lived in Cambridge since 1993 and brought up my three children here. I have had a lifelong career in the arts. I spent my early career as a visual arts curator before moving into senior roles. As Executive Director of the Crafts Council I was awarded an OBE in 2017. I am passionate about the value of culture to society and how it can contribute economically and socially to help people live better and more fulfilling lives.

I have run arts organisations and worked in partnership with local communities, dealt with national government and funders as well as with local authorities. If elected I will bring this experience to West Chesterton.

Cambridge is a beautiful place to live but it is not without its challenges. Whilst it has brought prosperity to many, there is an unacceptable divide between rich and poor. Our Labour council has done good work in the face of these challenges and I am committed to ensuring that Cambridge residents see those benefits. Whether that is affordable housing, access to green spaces and amenities, promoting active travel or tackling climate change I will work for the things that matter to West Chesterton.

I believe in a fair and just society and will fight hard to secure services for our most disadvantaged residents. If elected I will be there for West Chesterton residents: listening to your views and concerns; and helping with your problems.
