Will Aczel
Liberal Democrats candidate for Pennsylvania
As someone who grew up and lives in St James, I'm honoured to stand to be our representative on Devon County Council. It’s a nice place to live - close to the centre, quirky architecture, and a real sense of community. But I want to work with you as I know we can make St Sidwells and St James even better - somewhere all our community can thrive. Living in St James means I experience many of our same issues. Knocking on doors and chatting with people over the past five years has widened and deepened this understanding. I've been taking up our county council issues and campaigning for change - including on potholes, unreliable buses, homelessness prevention funding, and Devon's special educational needs scandal. Lib Dems provide hope for a better way, on your side. I aim to build on the successes of our local Lib Dem team, including the work of Duryard & St James city councillors Tammy, Michael, and Kevin, as we continue to knock on doors, listen to you, keep in touch, and campaign for change all year round. If there's anything you'd like us to get involved with or if you'd like to affect change through campaigning with us, please do feel free to get in touch. This 1st May, I would be honoured if you elected me as your representative on Devon County Council.
