Jim Yare
West Park
I’m a lawyer in the energy sector with a background in advocacy, so I’m here to fight your corner come rain or shine! I joined the Green Party initially as a renewable energy enthusiast and found their ‘people first’ approach to local campaigning to be really appealing.
I’m happy to help with anything in the ward, and have a focus on housing and safety issues. My priority is making sure you feel safe in your home, and in your community whilst preserving our area for the next generation.
We’re here to help you and the environment without any of the party politics, and I’m proud to be helping the people of West Park in any way I can. If you see me walking my dog (a very cute Border Collie) through the park feel free to come over and say hi!
You may see me knocking on your door to see how we can help, but if there’s something on your mind my inbox is always open! You can find me on Facebook and Twitter, or by using the contact details on this page.
