In Louise's own words

Representing people, not a party

“Do you feel like I do? That political parties are not listening to the concerns of local people? That they have lost touch with the wishes of Bishopstoke?

With a background in local government and a masters degree I felt it was time to give back to my community. These concerns inspired me to stand up for Bishopstoke & Fair Oak. I've been privileged and proud to have received so much support from my local community, now currently representing local people on Hampshire County Council (since 2022) Eastleigh Borough Council (Since 2018) and Bishopstoke Parish (since 2016). successfully run for the Parish Council election in 2016. Together with the local community and my Independent colleagues I have helped to convince the Local Planning Inspector that the potentially 5000+ buildings proposal in the north of our villages would be destructive and I am now actively seeking the same area be protected as a nature reserve. After three years of campaigning for safer indication of the junior school and slower speeds, I was thrilled, that within my first 6months at Hampshire, warning lights and a 20mph limit has been installed. I have sought to influence decision makers.

Including: speaking up on behalf of residents at local meetings; helping residents experiencing difficulties with developments; challenging policies on fly-tipping; and, pushed for new footpaths. Bishopstoke has always been home. I went to the local Infant and Junior school, I’m a member of Bishopstoke Players and Bishopstoke History Society. I grew up with its ancient woodland & Itchen and want to see these preserved for future generations”

If elected I will: ✓ continue to fight eco-vandalism that could devastate our ancient woodland, countryside and the Itchen ✓ keep local people informed of the decisions that will affect us and listen to their views ✓ support services and policies which contribute to the health and wellbeing of local people, our environment and wildlife.

I regularly post information on Facebook so please do 'like' me there.
