Jack Downie-Webb
Green Party candidate for Symonds Green
I believe our community deserves better than being taken for granted. For too long, decisions have been made without any challenge. When one party dominates for decades, accountability slips and local people are left dealing with the consequences. I work for a local charity, supporting people through some of the most difficult moments in their lives, and that experience has shown me how deeply issues like housing, mental health and underfunded services affect our community, and how often people feel ignored. I grew up in Symonds Green, still live here now, and I want to listen, challenge poor decisions, and stand up for this area in any way I can.
