Paul James Anderson
Labour candidate for Bixley
Paul Anderson is the Labour Party candidate for Bixley at the Borough Council election on Thursday 2nd May 2019. Paul is a University lecturer and writer who lives in Woodbridge Road. He grew up in Dorchester Road in Bixley in the 1960s and 1970s and went to Britannia primary – and his mum still lives in the ward. He’s Bixley to his bones: he used to buy sweets from ITFC legend John Elsworthy’s shop at the roundabout and took the number 4 bus into town. Paul knows what Bixley residents need from the council – decent bus services, reliable rubbish collection, better social services support for old people, protection of the heaths from housing development – and will campaign for all that and more on the Borough Council.
