Nina Charlotte BROWN
Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
(address in Leeds)
Ed CARLISLE
20 Harlech Avenue, Leeds, LS11 7DT
I’ve lived, worked, and volunteered across this area for 18+ years. I’ve co-led or supported dozens of projects and schemes:
- the Big Bike Fix;
- Beeston Festival;
- Holbeck Viaduct;
- Leeds Repair Cafe;
-
South Leeds Life;
- Hunslet Gala;
- a local campaign getting PPE to frontline workers during the pandemic;
-
the #BuyLeeds campaign promoting local business;
- schools and youthwork;
- sports and leisure;
- and more.
And I’m active locally year-round, working with residents, businesses, and agencies to tackle issues (including the cladding crisis, bins, housing, crime, litter and waste, paths and roads, and more) together, developing innovative and resident-led solutions to the challenges we face.
With incredible support from a wide range of great local people, I’ve stood in elections for this area since 2015. We’ve come a strong second every time, we’re the only credible alternative here to tired old Labour, and we’re now well-placed to breakthrough and win.
More and more people feel ‘politically homeless’, disillusioned with the big parties – locally and nationally. This election presents a great opportunity for us to start afresh, elect local people to be a strong independent voice for our communities, and turn our neighbourhoods and city around for good.
