In 2019, you don’t have to choose between a Tory and an ex-Tory – you can vote for real change. Vote for policies you believe in. Vote for someone who understands local issues and is listening to local people.

Louise Webberley is a working mother and a Totnes Town Councillor, who supports vulnerable young people across the constituency. She lives in Totnes with her family, and loves cycling and wild swimming. Louise has a strong work ethic and a passion for justice, whether she is representing tenants threatened with eviction or demanding an end to the punishing roll-out of Universal Credit. She has really made her mark on the town with her support for a Climate Emergency response and local campaigns like Plastic Free Totnes.

Labour policies for Totnes and South Devon

• Sort Brexit in six months: Labour will legislate for a referendum with two clear options: leave with a sensible deal that keeps our rights and jobs, or remain in the EU.
