Councillor Candidate
Simeon Rhys Rowlands
Green Party candidate for Astley
Green Party
Astley is a beautiful area full of amazing people, and having seen the awful ignorance from the council, I cannot simply stand by and let it happen. I aim to work with residents on the most pressing issues, to make sure Astley remains beautiful and that our voices do not continue to go unheard!
