Your Candidates for St John’s Ward

I am proud to be a candidate in St Johns, a welcoming and strong community, one I have lived at the heart of with my family for over 30 years.  I have always played a full part in local life. I am a Governor at Christopher Whitehead and a volunteer in the Library Garden. I am also a trustee of two Debt Relief charities supporting the most vulnerable in our community.

St Johns has a problem with rogue landlords and planning applications which impact on quality of life. I regularly challenge both. Community safety is important to us all, I have regular meetings with the police, to discuss matters within our neighbourhood.

I embrace the Worcester’s vibrant and diverse culture.  I support the extending the hours on all local bus route, increasing active travel and accessibility so that St Johns residents can enjoy all the City has to offer.

I have worked tirelessly since I was first elected, in 1991, to stand up for all the people of St John’s. I have lived in St John’s all my life. I know many residents personally; I consider it an honour and a privilege to represent you at the Guildhall.

We need to do more to improve public transport, to challenge absentee landlords; to improve the accountability of housing associations. I will use the planning system to oppose any inappropriate housing developments and to encourage more businesses and shops to come to St John’s. We need to preserve our parks and local environment; we need more areas for children to play.

We need to tackle speeding, illegal parking, crime, and anti-social behaviour. We need measures to reduce the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, which is still hurting residents very hard. I hope to continue to be your voice at the Guildhall
