Following the sad news that popular Green councillor for Sowerby & Topcliffe division, Dave Whitfield, has been forced to resign from post due to ill health, John Law has been selected as his successor and your local Green Party candidate for the upcoming by-election on Thursday, 30th November.
Although he was unable to stand for the full term, Dave was voted in as Green Councillor in 2022 for this area and since then has worked tirelessly in the community to support local concerns and initiatives; he was making some excellent progress until he became unwell and we’d like to thank him for his valued efforts.
Introducing John Law – Green Party Candidate
John has previously had great success in local elections and is an excellent choice for continuing the hard work and dedication our former Green Councillor has given to the role for Sowerby & Topcliffe division.
“My name is John Law, I live locally and enjoy the peace and beauty of this area. I am organised, hardworking and love getting things done. Unlike other party candidates, the Green Party offers me the chance to represent your views and concerns with a strong and independent voice. I am ready to make difference to the people who live here and have over 30 years of experience working in a variety of relevant roles in the private, public and third sectors.”
“I care deeply about the local community and can be trusted.”
JOHN’S PRIORITIES
John has a mission – to put the PEOPLE of Sowerby & Topcliffe first – EVERY TIME.
Their needs should come above party politics.
John believes this community deserves better. Preserving the character of the towns and villages is a genuine priority for him – this is an incredibly beautiful part of North Yorkshire – yet it has felt neglected by local and national government for a long time.
John has identified the following priorities for Sowerby & Topcliffe:
- Reduce Cost of Living
- Support Local Businesses
- Improve Social Care
- Reduce Litter & Increase Recycling
- Better Support Farmers
- Protect Our Green Spaces
- Improve Public Transport
- Better Maintain Highways
- Build Affordable Housing
- Encourage Local Food Production
- Clean Up Our Rivers & Waterways
- Support Waste Management
John Law will be the kind of Councillor who reaches out to people, a Councillor who listens to resident’s worries and can be trusted to tackle the issues that affect you day to day. A Councillor who, unlike other party candidates, does not have to toe a party line. John Law will not let you down.
EVERY VOTE COUNTS – WHY YOU MUST VOTE….
In 2022 the people of Sowerby & Topcliffe wanted positive change -they made that happen by voting Green. You have that opportunity again and with your support, John Law can win.
PLEASE BEWARE: Voting was very close when your Green Councillor was elected in 2022. Every vote counts – we still have a Conservative-run County Council and so if you want your voice heard – voting for John Law, Green Party WILL achieve that.
A vote for John Law is a vote for this community. It’s the ONLY VOTE that will make a difference to Sowerby & Topcliffe.
Don’t forget, if you vote for anyone else – another Conservative is most likely to win and Sowerby & Topcliffe will lose their voice. We need positive change and only John Law can achieve this for you.
A FINAL WORD FROM JOHN…
If you would like to get in touch or have any concerns you would like John to prioritise – or perhaps you would like a poster to display in your property – please email John on john@johnlaw.green
