Tim Rippington
Tim was elected in January 2020 at a by-election, promising to work to deliver on a station for St Anne’s, improved public transport, more community infrastructure and better parks and green spaces.
Since then he has successfully bid for money to carry out a feasibility study for the station, has persuaded the council to put a community space into St Anne’s House, helped to win extra council funding for the new playpark at Eastwood Farm and started work with WECA on a re-design of local bus services.
