Liberal Democrats candidate for Moortown
Active on State
Sharon Slinger is the Liberal Democrat candidate for Moortown, known locally for getting stuck in and working alongside residents to make things happen. She lives in Meanwood with her family and is an active part of the local community. Sharon runs her own small business and is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, bringing a strong sense of professionalism and accountability to everything she does. Sharon has been closely involved in local campaigns, including pushing for action on traffic issues at Meanwood junction and supporting residents in successfully challenging proposals that would have negatively impacted the area. She is also a visible presence locally - reporting and following up on graffiti, raising everyday concerns, and making sure residents’ voices are heard. Rather than just raising issues, Sharon focuses on getting results. She works with residents, asks the right questions, and keeps pressure on decision-makers until action is taken. Her approach is practical and persistent - not just promises, but follow-through. For Moortown, Sharon would bring: - A strong track record of listening to residents and acting on what matters to them - A hands-on approach to local issues, from traffic and road safety to environmental concerns - Determination to see things through and get outcomes, not just responses - A commitment to being visible, accessible, and accountable as a local councillor Sharon is standing to ensure Moortown has a councillor who works hard, stays engaged with the community, and focuses on delivering real improvements for local people.
