Hide AdAs a volunteer, I spend a lot of time listening to people’s views and opinions on health and social care services.
As a councillor, I would use that experience to try to improve these services.
My aims are to push for more waste reduction schemes to combat litter and fly-tipping, make disposal of household rubbish easier and also support local, independent traders.
Vote Green for a cleaner, greener more prosperous Pallion for all.The Conservative Party Candidate – Grant SHEARER

Hide AdLike most people I have talked to regarding the local elections I’m disappointed about the state of the city under Labour.
If elected in Pallion I will work hard to address the issues most important to the residents.
Road safety and the condition of footpaths is a concern along with litter and dog fouling.
Like the vast majority of people in Sunderland I fail to understand why after the devastating report into the failed children’s services in Sunderland no councillor has resigned their position.This is wrong.

I’ve lived in Pallion most of my life, I’ve raised children and grandchildren in this area and believe we deserve better.
I’ve been campaigning for a better deal for Pallion, Ford, St Gabriels, High Barnes, Pennywell and Hylton Lane.
This area has been taken for granted for decades and many people are telling me it’s time for a change.
