Zak Southward
Labour candidate for Eastleigh Central
“In Zak's own words
“I have lived in Eastleigh for the past decade and am proud to call it home. I’m standing in this by-election because I believe our town deserves better. After 30 years of Liberal Democrat control at Eastleigh Borough Council, too many people feel things are going backwards. It’s time for a fresh start.”
“If elected, I will focus on the basics: fixing our roads, tackling antisocial behaviour, revitalising the town centre, protecting and investing in our green spaces, and fighting cuts to local bus services. I will push for stronger action on street cleaning, better support for independent businesses, and a real effort to bring pride back to our high street.”
“I also support Labour’s plans to reform local government. Replacing the borough and county council structures with a single unitary authority and a directly elected mayor would mean clearer accountability, better value for money, and stronger leadership for our community.”
“I’m passionate about making a real difference for Eastleigh; I hope I can count on your support.”
