Hilary Moulton – Conservatives

“I have lived in Southampton all my life. I have worked in the NHS for 40 years. I am a retired theatre nurse. I worked in Africa during my holidays with the charity Mercy Ships.

I am passionate about reversing Labour’s policy of turning off the street lamps at night.

I plan to ensure all the roads/pavements and potholes are repaired.”

Rosanna Elizabeth Newey – Greens

“I am running for councillor with the Green Party in the Bevois ward because, as a resident, I strongly believe we need green representation on Southampton city council to hold other parties to account.

A green voice on the council means I will push for £1 bus fares, clean air in the city and improvements to public transportation. Please give me one of your votes in May and I will work my hardest to represent the people of Bevois.”

Richard Arthur Palmer – Conservatives

“As the Conservative candidate, Richard believes a Conservative council is the best way to keep council tax lower, to keep the streets safer by having street lights on, and getting back on track with repair of the city’s roads.”

Lennie Scorey-Auckland – Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
