Although Solihull is one of the richest boroughs in the country, it also has some of the greatest levels of inequality. Too many people scrape by on poverty wages; too many of our young people have to leave Solihull to find affordable housing. Public services have been in decline. Many of our elderly are isolated and lonely. Solihull deserves better.
The way that communities are rallying to support each other during the Covid-19 crisis shows that many people agree that there is a need for #FairDealSolihull and that we must rebuild in a way that puts people and communities before profit. If you agree, please get involved in our campaigns and activities.
Liz has lived in Shirley for most of her life and therefore knows the area well. She works as a senior injury claims negotiator for a global insurance company.
Liz has been a member of the Labour Party for around 10 years, a trade union member since 1985 and a union rep/shop steward for Unite since 1998.
She would like to see the Stratford Road shopping area revitalised with more individual shops, and more genuinely affordable housing for young families.
