After decades working in the NHS, Bess has seen first-hand the pressure on our public services. Now she’s ready to stand up for our local communities and make sure residents’ voices are heard.
Bess has been knocking on doors and talking to residents across Kilburn, Denby, Holbrook and Horsley to find out what matters most to residents.
One message has come through loud and clear: people are deeply concerned about development on our countryside — particularly the impact of solar farms, new electricity pylons and housing developments.
🌱 Bess will make sure local people have a strong voice on these issues.
This by-election is your chance to choose a councillor who will listen, speak up and stand up for our communities.
💚 Vote Green on October 8th
