Eliza Ainley
Green Party candidate for Guiseley & Rawdon
Having lived in North West Leeds since 1992, I understand the everyday priorities of families and working people in this area. Through over thirty years of working in local education, I have seen how closely issues such as transport, housing and family support are connected, and how important it is that local services work together. I believe that the best decisions begin with listening. I value strong relationships with residents and community organisations, and believes these conversations are essential for shaping practical, effective change.
