Fiona Katharine Tobin
Labour candidate for Barnes
Barnes is a fantastic area with wonderful residents who deserve to be heard and have someone to fight on their behalf. I want to be the person residents can rely on to ensure every issue is tackled and Barnes continues to be a wonderful place for residents to live. Whether it’s a green issue, a back-lane, a pothole or anti-social behaviour I want residents to know they can call on me to fight their corner to ensure Barnes is a clean, green and safe area. A place people are proud to call home and a place I will be proud to represent. As a Mam I want to ensure our communities thrive so my boys are proud of Sunderland and the place we call home.
