“I am keen to support the most vulnerable in our communities, particularly with the current Cost of Living Crisis and also to stand up for our area.
“It is an exciting time for Greyfrairs Ward with lots of regeneration and redevelopment projects.
“But it is important that residents are represented in the decision-making process – I will ensure this happens.

“The main issue facing residents in Greyfrairs is the Cost of Living Crisis with many residents not sure how they will cope with the increase in prices, rents and energy costs,” he said.
“We need someone who will stand up for all our residents and communities.
“It is an exciting time to be in Greyfrairs, and I will ensure resident’s voices are heard, redevelopment cannot just be about gentrification but must take into account the views of those who already live in the Greyfriars, Midland Road area and town centre,” Nigel said.
