Martyn Warnes

Labour candidate for Berechurch

Labour

I've represented Berechurch residents on Colchester City Council since 2016. I would like to continue doing so. Alongside my colleagues Chris Pearson, Dave Harris and Pam Cox, I bring a wealth of experience to the table to help get things done and represent the interests of local residents. Together we work all year round and not just at election times. We lead community litter-picks to help keep Berechurch tidy and regularly knock on residents doors to ask them if they have local issues we can help them with. People tell us that we 'are the only ones they ever see'. So, please vote for me on 7th May and keep backing your Berechurch Councillors.
