Jill Says: I’m standing in the North Yorkshire Counil election for the Labour Party because;

• I care about vulnerable adults and older people and want them to be properly cared for

• I care about climate change, the environment, and resources in our area
• I want local transport to be available and accessible to all
• I want Ryedale to be the best place to live
