Jim Smith
Green Party candidate for Eastleigh South
Since 2023, I've lived in Eastleigh and fallen in love with our community. But there is work to do. My background in e-commerce and the charity sector has taught me that we don't have to abandon our ideals to help people in order to find solutions that actually work. For most of us, life has never been harder. We've started accepting the bare minimum as a pleasant surprise. I want to hold the council to account, injecting new energy and ideas. Forget party politics; we need realistic, efficient results that make life better for everyone and protect our planet.
