Silvia Clare Dacre
Labour candidate for Todmorden
I've lived in Todmorden for 20 years and I work in Manchester as a solicitor so I share with many Todmorden residents the impact of an underfunded and disorganised railway service. I want to be a labour councilor as only Labour will protect Todmorden residents from the impact of Conservative cuts and Universal Credit which are causing hardship and suffering for many. If you elect me, I will be working with my Labour colleagues to ensure that, despite the financial challenges we face as a council, we continue to do our best to invest in and support our local community, When I'm not working or campaigning I enjoy caving, cycling and watching Rugby League. I live in Medowbottom with my partner and hens. I look forward to meeting you and hope you will vote for me in May.
