Hello everyone - I’m happy to introduce myself as your Labour and Co-operative candidate for the 2022 local elections in Marple North.
I’ve lived in Marple for over ten years and my three children attend St Mary’s and Marple Hall schools. I’ve been involved in a range of activities locally, including volunteering at vaccination centres during the pandemic, and most recently organising a walk to mark International Women’s Day.
In my day job, I’m working on a project to tackle poverty in Greater Manchester. Prior to this, I worked as a policy advisor in Central Government and have experience of working at both local and national levels.
As a joint Labour and Co-operative candidate, my co-operative values are important to me. I want to see more local investment, a fairer economy that works for everyone, and for people to be empowered to be part of making the decisions that affect them.
I joined the Labour Party because I want to see a fairer society for everyone. After years of Tory and Lib Dem cuts, more and more people are struggling, and with the cost of living crisis starting to bite, we need Labour representatives who’ll prioritise the vulnerable in society more than ever.
Everyone in the ward will be receiving a leaflet from me and local residents are welcome to get in touch at marplelabour@gmail.com
With best wishes,
Claire.
