Joshua James Godfrey
Conservative candidate for Up Hatherley
With family roots in Cheltenham, I care deeply about our town. My great grandad was a teacher here and my grandparents met here too, so Cheltenham has always been a special place to me. After 16 years of Lib Dem majority rule, ask yourself this. Is Cheltenham reaching its full potential? I'm standing in these local elections because I want better for Up Hatherley and Cheltenham. If I'm given the honour of being elected as your Councillor on May 7th, I will hold the Lib Dem administration to account, fight to protect our greenbelt from overdevelopment and fight for the infrastructure investment that residents need and deserve.
