William Deacon
Labour candidate for St Ives South
Active on State
My name is Will. I am a teacher at a local school and am passionate about education, opportunities for young people (as one of the younger candidates myself) and bringing more investment into the town. I am standing for the first time because I want people across our community to feel represented and listened to. My key pledges: - Doorknocking all year round and holding monthly in-person surgeries. - Ensuring development is done properly - with infrastructure in first and not on sites that increase flood risk. - Keeping our council local and preserving our identity in the new unitary councils.
