Michael Chilton
Labour candidate for Manor Castle
I live in Manor Castle and know our communities and what they need. I have spent my whole professional career representing and helping people that need it most and I want to use that to help people in my area. Our communties are strong and diverse and show that working together we can get things done. I will stand up to the kind of hatred and division that is trying to tear them down rather than build them up. I want to join our current councillors Elle Dodd and Laura Moynahan who are already working so hard across the ward on projects to help improve the area. I am determined and hard working and will ensure everyone has a voice at Town Hall.
