Peter French
Labour candidate for Hackleton & Roade
Active on State
It’s a privilege to be the Labour candidate in this by-election. I live locally on Grange Park and am on Grange Park Parish Council, so I know how to get things done. Previously I worked as a deputy director of education, and before that was a vicar. I’m married with three grown up daughters. If elected I pledge to: • Speak up for our villages at West Northants Council - it can be very Northampton centric. • Make sure the Reform-led council makes good use of government funds to fix potholes. • Champion our beautiful environment, nature diversity and combat fly-tipping. • Campaign to end violence against women and girls. • Hold regular surgeries to take up your concerns. I’ll always listen to you
