Nicola Sumner
Labour councillor for Central
Council: Barnsley
Term ends: 2 May 2030
I grew up in Hoyland Common, went to Kirk Balk School and have worked in the ward. I have seen the devastating impact the cuts have had on our community. If you place your trust in me on 14 December, I will work to help families, reduce social isolation and give older people the support they deserve. As a Mum, I want to make sure we improve the opportunities for our young people in Barnsley.
