Andrew Smith
Originally from Whitby in North Yorkshire, I moved to Worcester with my partner in 2015 after spending 9 months travelling around South East Asia. In 2018 we spent another 3 months travelling across the globe. We now have two young children, who love their local parks and woods.
Having travelled the world, I’ve seen how lucky we are to have a stable and functioning democracy in the UK. We take it for granted and in return we see far too many political games been played at our expense. I want to see people feeling valued and listened to, which means proportional representation, so the council better reflects the city.
I lead by example, taking my son on regular litter picks to show the importance of looking after the area he lives in. I’m here to listen to people and act on those concerns. I want to see a safe and prospering community which cares about society, the environment and empowers all.
