Sarah Jarman for westgate.
Green campaigner Sarah Jarman is standing in the by-election on 14th March for a seat on Westgate Town Council.
"I was born and bred in Westgate," says Sarah, "I love living here and want to see the town and its vibrant community realise their full potential."
"I believe, and have always believed, that Westgate is a wonderful town, but there is always room for improvement."
"If I’m elected these areas would be my focus:
- Expanding the work that Cllr Mike Garner, Cllr Abi Smith and other Green colleagues have been doing with the Westgate & Garlinge Action Group and others to fight indiscriminate building on greenfield sites around the town.
- Supporting Westgate Library and Community Centre and fighting any proposals to reduce the vital services they provide our community.
- Building up our sense of community in Westgate, and particularly working to find opportunities for different generations to meet and share their ideas.
- Helping to hold Southern Water to account for their shockingly poor service and their continuing pollution of our seas.
- Reducing the amount of litter and dog poo on our pavements!
Community roots
"I left Westgate when I was 18 and after a brief period living abroad, returned over 30 years ago to raise my children here by the sea. Westgate is where they all grew up, attended local schools and I now also have a grandchild who is about to start at the same school in September.
Until recently I was my elderly Mum’s carer, but since she died last year I’ve been determined to put my time to good use. I’m now in the process of becoming an Age UK volunteer and, with your support, hoping to become a Town Councillor."
