Jamie Dalzell - West Chesterton

"I'm Jamie Dalzell, and I'm standing to be your City Councillor for West Chesterton in this year’s by-election. I have a proven track record of delivering real results for our community and I want to be back in the City Council where I can help deliver real change for our community.

As your Councillor from 2018-2022, I worked tirelessly to tackle the issues that matter most to local residents. I partnered with the police to crack down on drug dealing, helped secure better, community-led plans for Milton Road, and fought to maintain essential services like street cleaning and public toilets - even as Labour's cuts threatened to reduce them.

I've built my career and my home here in Cambridge, and I'm deeply invested in ensuring our city remains a wonderful place to live. We are growing, and our community should play a central role in shaping that future. That's why I'll continue to be a strong voice for West Chesterton, fighting against the government's plans to strip away planning powers from our community and pushing for the long-overdue repairs our roads desperately need.

I bring real hands-on experience in local government,  which I think will be essential when dealing with the many challenges we now face. I have a proven track record of collaborating with the community, listening to and addressing your concerns, and delivering tangible results.

As we face the cost-of-living crisis, I will work tirelessly to support residents. I'll push for energy efficiency measures to lower household bills, always try to improve transport options for our area and I'll stand up to Labour's cuts to vital local services.

Cambridge is my home, and I care deeply about its future. If elected with my County colleagues Ian, Rory and Fionna, I'll be an accessible, responsive Councillor who will always put the needs of West Chesterton first. Together, we can build a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous Cambridge."
