Gary John Faulkner
Reform UK candidate for Bournbrook & Selly Park
Born in Tiverton Rd, I’ve lived in South Birmingham all my life, . That lifelong connection has given me a deep understanding of the community I would be proud to represent. I was raised through the last 3 decades of the last century Like many who remember those times, I look at Birmingham today and feel that it needs change I want a better future—for my children, my grandchildren, and the local community. That’s why I’ve joined Reform, because I truly believe it’s the only party with the will to make real change happen. I’m now semi-retired, but still driven to make a difference.Now, I’m stepping up for Bournbrook and selly park ward
