Julie Carter is an Independent candidate for South Acton ward in Ealing, in the council by-election to be held on 10th October. We spoke with Julie about her decision to stand.
Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?
I am putting myself forward to give the local residents an alternative to the tired old parties.
South Acton locals have come to me with problems they want solved; resident parking and speed limit signage near the local school, re-opening the long-promised recycling dump, and most importantly, a councillor who is present for them. One resident says he hasn’t ever seen his local councillor “where are they?”
You’re the candidate for South Acton. What are the main concerns in the area?
South Acton is the hidden gem of Ealing, a vibrant, close-knit community, it deserves better representation, someone who will help them to access Ealing Council.
A lifelong resident of Ealing, I have demonstrated commitment to public service as past governor of Ealing Hospital and Chiswick School, and I am ready to serve South Acton’s residents.
For those eager to help, how can they get involved in the campaign?
