Lori Foster

Green Party councillor for Portswood

Active on State

Council: Southampton

Term ends: 2 May 2030

Green Party

An active member of the community, I’m committed to Portswood, to ensure we get the clean air, well-funded care, quality housing, and healthy rivers we all deserve. Having raised deputations at Southampton City Council questioning cuts of £39m of funds from Children and Adult Social care, and highlighting that the city is not acting on idling and air quality outside schools, I will continue holding the administration to account. Bills continue to rise, wages stagnate, austerity bites, with ever-increasing cuts and poor value for residents. I stand for real, practical change and hope - a break from business as usual.
