Freya Cushman
Labour candidate for The Stukeleys
I'm Freya, one of two Labour candidates for The Stukeleys: I'm running as I'm from Stukeley, for Stukeley. I believe we need more young people involved in the decisions that will affect our local area. This is where I grew up and it's my home. I'm running with Sikohnzile Ndebele and our promises to local residents are: **1) Present & Proactive** We will engage year-round in our local area and be visible in person and online for residents. **2) Getting things done** We will support the District Council in getting the basics right. This means bins collected, parks kept clean, and residents put first on issues that matter to them! **3) Transparency** Any decision we engage in will be communicated to residents. For candidates who will go out, get things done and listen to residents, vote Labour this May.
