Chelsie Hirons-Major
Green Party candidate for Belgrave
Active on State
I've lived in Tamworth my whole life. I was raised and schooled in Stonydelph, and have called Belgrave home for the past 15 years. Belgrave has been forgotten about. During my time living in the ward I've seen green spaces become unruly, community buildings become dilapidated and unusable, and important transport routes pretty much fall apart. I take pride in my home and I want to make sure we get our fair share of council funding to fix these issues. My campaign policies are all about designing community-focused solutions that work for all residents within the ward and across the wider Tamworth borough. I don't have the space to list them here, so head to facebook.com/greensforbelgrave to check them out! I'm standing for the Green Party because I believe that the climate crisis, cost-of-living crisis, and societal unrest we're seeing are all part of the same problem. You can't solve one without tackling the other, and the Greens are the only party advocating for that! To summarise, I'm a lifetime local representative with genuine compassion for the ward I'm standing in. I'll be a strong advocate for Belgrave, and I can't wait to help. Please get in touch via greensforbelgrave@outlook.com or my social media channels to find out more 💚
