Lydia Ann Hyde

It’s been a real privilege to serve my home, St Laurence ward, for the past four years. I’m standing again to keep working hard for residents and making sure your voices are heard. Over my first term, I’ve focused on getting things done locally—improving roads and footpaths, upgrading our parks and play areas, and tackling issues like air quality and anti-social behaviour. I also helped stop the closure of Kent Elms Library, pushed for action on the sewage works, and brought national attention to the RAAC issues at Kingsdown School. I’m proud to be a councillor who delivers real results, but there’s always more to do. If re-elected, I’ll continue working on practical improvements like resurfacing pavements, expanding play facilities, protecting the X30 bus service, supporting fair parking solutions, investing in allotments, and standing up against unsuitable developments. A record of action. A vote for results.
