Labour has confirmed who will stand for the party in a forthcoming Lichfield District Council by-election.
Paul Taylor will contest the Chasetown ward vacancy on 3rd November.
He is currently a member of Burntwood Town Council.
He said:
“I am really pleased to have been selected by Labour to fight this important by-election.
“I can’t wait to get out and about on the doorsteps in Chasetown, talking to people and taking the positive message of a Better Burntwood to them. Times are tough at the moment but we have a great community here.
“If elected, I will be a strong voice on behalf of local residents, businesses and organisations and the community as a whole.”
Paul Taylor
Cllr Sue Woodward, Leader of Burntwood Town Council, said:
“Paul is one of the most hard-working town councillors I’ve ever known. His enthusiasm and commitment to delivering the Jubilee Wakes, Play in the Parks and the markets among many other initiatives have made a huge impact.
“Working alongside his fellow councillor for Chasetown, Cllr Darren Ennis, I know that the two of them will make a formidable team.”
Cllr Sue Woodward, Burntwood Town Council
The by-election was called following the resignation of Conservative councillor Samuel Tapper.
Other parties have yet to confirm their candidates for next month’s vote.
One of the finest people I know.
A gentle, kind and very honourable man.
I wish Paul well.
Congratulations Paul off former Chasetown councillor Paul Atkins
