Guy Mills

I am a local resident in West Chesterton and have lived here my whole life. I am very proud of my home town and place of birth and the leisure and green spaces that it provides. As an advocate for healthy living, I would love to see greater access to sports and leisure facilities across the city. As an avid cyclist, I understand that for many people in Cambridge including myself cycling is an integral part to our city wide identity. For a number of years, during the summer months I have taken international students across the city on historic tours of the city. Recently, I have seen deterioration of public facilities within the city, including the closure of public toilets and inadequate maintenance of those that remain. I believe the city of Cambridge deserves better. As a physiotherapy trainee and during my time at Addenbrookes I have an awareness of the importance of safeguarding our physical health. I believe the council has a responsibility to safeguard residents and to provide them with sporting and leisure facilities,to aid wellbeing. I have seen a large increase in electric scooter related injuries recently and believe our city council isn’t doing enough to stop dangerous high-speed electric scooters on our commons and pavements. As a psychology graduate, I am also passionate about mental health and believe the council should do more to foster a happy city by improving green areas and should end the local tennis court use fee that labour has introduced. I don’t believe taxation on physical activity is the correct way to support residents. Contact Guy - mills.libdem@gmail.com
