Leigh Whitehouse - Worcestershire County Council Candidate for St Johns and Kidderminster Town Council Candidate for Blakebrook & Habberley South

Candidate for St Johns and Blakebrook & Habberley South

My name is Leigh Whitehouse. I live in Blakebrook & Habberley South, the Ward I represent as District Councillor. I’m the father of two amazing children, a Local Authority Building and Estates Manager by day and District Councillor by night & weekend.

I was proudly elected to Wyre Forest District Council in May 2019. Since then I have helped change the lives of hundreds of people in the area – there is nothing better than giving back to your local community, it’s something I do every day, happily. The areas that I focus on are housing, local well paid jobs, equality, safeguarding mental health & emergency services – if you give me something to look at, no stone gets left unturned!

There is nothing better than giving back to your local community
