Labour
I'm Denise Gold, standing for Labour in Cannock, Longford and Bridgtown. I've lived in Cannock for over 50 years. I've worked for local government for over 35 years as well as for Staffordshire Wildlife Trust; passionate about animal welfare, environmental concerns supporting wildlife and their habitats . If elected I will hold the council to account, scrutinise its decisions, work with the council’s partners to build a new vibrant town centre and engage with local policing to find and address the root causes of anti social behaviour.
