Gayathri Sathyanath
Liberal Democrats candidate for Sarisbury & Whiteley
Gayathri Sathyanath is the Liberal Democrat candidate for Havant. A proud first-generation immigrant from India, she has studied Environmental Science and runs her own business. Gayathri cannot stand by and watch our rivers and seas being flooded with excrement. She will hold the water companies accountable for damaging the environment. Gayathri’s husband and son are doctors in the local area, so she understands how the NHS has crumbled under 14 years of Tory rule. She will fight for a fair deal for the NHS to reduce waiting lists, guarantee quick treatment for cancer patients, increase GP numbers, and appoint a mental health professional in each and every school. She wants to ease the cost-of-living crisis by implementing windfall taxes on energy companies, doubling the winter fuel allowance, and providing a warm home discount in winter months. She says "We need change nationally and locally, with a new government and new leadership that puts our community first.
