WESTGATE WARD - KATHERINE WEST

I am pleased to have been selected as your Conservative candidate for Westgate ward. Ipswich born and bred, I am hardworking and enthusiastic and look forward to having the opportunity to represent your views.

My main priorities if elected will be:

Tackling the drug problems, gang problems and anti-social behaviour in the area, and ensuring we have adequate police presence to ensure you feel safer in your homes and when in the neighbourhood.

Westgate Ward is a part of town which has often been overlooked by your Labour councillors and I don’t want it to feel left behind any longer. If elected, I will be your strong voice representing your interests on the Borough Council.

The area has big issues with traffic congestion and pollution (in normal times) and the Labour council is diluting some of its actions to tackle this. I will lobby to put this back higher on the agenda to keep you and your families more healthy.
