Previous CandidateChange Maker
Jane Whild
Independent candidate for Woughton & Fishermead
Independent
I’ve lived in Milton Keynes for 40 years, working in partnership with council officers to improve safety and health for women and girls. I’m a regular bus user and also campaign to make cycling easier for all. As an independent councillor, I can be accountable to residents of Woughton and Fishermead, and prioritise their needs without being tied to a party line.
