In Tessa's own words

I’m Tessa, a local mum, a worker in the not-for-profit sector and your Green candidate in the May local council elections. I grew up in Ecclesall and now want to give back to this vibrant community.

**I can win and help bring hope back to Sheffield**

Across the country, more people are responding to the Green Party’s message of bringing hope back into politics. Here in Ecclesall, residents tell me they want a councillor who listens, who understands family life, and who will stand up for the area.

As a granddaughter, I supported my grandparents through Vascular Dementia. As a daughter, I lost my Mum when I was 24 and dealt with grief. As a mum, I’ve campaigned for cleaner air, more green spaces, play spaces for children and safer streets. I feel a deep compassion for people of all ages through my lived experience. I want Ecclesall to be a place where every family feels safe, supported, and glad to call home.

**Working for you all year round**

If elected, I would be proud to work alongside Green councillor Peter Gilbert, who won the last local elections in Ecclesall Ward. We will speak up for residents in council meetings, challenge decisions that don’t reflect our community’s needs, and work hard to deliver positive, practical change. Peter and I are involved with local community groups, speak with local businesses, and knock on doors to listen and support.

**Your vote counts on 7th May.**

Ecclesall deserves a future shaped by the people who live here and love this area. On 7th May, please use your vote to elect me as your representative on Sheffield City Council — so together, we can build a cleaner, safer, more hopeful future.
