Three most important issues in your ward?

1) Climate resilience and environmental protection: Leading local climate action to build resilience to extreme weather events as well as managing threats from development. 2) Happy, healthy neighbourhoods: We want to see thriving local streets where people feel supported and connected, with genuinely affordable accommodation. 3) Thriving activity centres: We need to support local businesses and create ‘sticky streets’ where people stop, stay and spend time to enjoy these locations.
