Reading Labour Party Women’s Officer Rachael Chrisp has been selected as Labour candidate for Park Ward in
the Borough elections next May.
She takes over from sitting Park Councillor Jon Hartley, who will be
moving to London next year with his partner.
Rachael lives in Park Ward with her partner Chay and two cats, and
cares greatly about her local area. She works in recruitment while Chay
works for a local IT company. Formerly a union rep, she has been active
as Labour Party Women’s Officer in attacking the Tory-led Government
for the devastating impact the cuts have had on women in particular.
Rachael says: “I am excited to have been selected by Park Ward as
Labour candidate for 2012. I have been working with Jon over the past
twelve months in the ward and look forward to continuing the good work
he has done for Park. Reading now again has a Labour Council which is
reversing the worst cuts from that terrible year when the Tories and
LibDems were in control, I hope Labour will continue in control after
May,
|
and I very much want to be in there arguing for the best possible
deal for local people in Park Ward.”
Jon says: “I am pleased to be able to hand over to Rachael who cares
passionately about standing up for local people. Rachael and I are
working together to tackle local issues including residents’ parking,
traffic in local roads, houses in multiple occupancy, and ensuring
local children can attend good local schools. I know she will do an
excellent job for the ward.” |
