Carmel Dominique Herrigan
Green Party candidate for Woolston
I’ve lived in Southampton since 1984, I recently retired from SCC Adult Social Care, I managed a Day Centre in Woolston. I have been an active volunteer with a national children's agency and attend a local community hub in Weston. My ambition is for the water of Weston Shore to be clean enough to swim in, this needs to be achieved through a multi-agency approach. Let's work together for the services we deserve and a city we can truly be proud of. Vote for me in the local elections so that I can take your concerns directly to the Council.
