The hard-working councillor has served as county councillor since 2017
Hard-working county councillor Jacqi Hodgson is standing for re-election to Devon County Council in Totnes and Dartington on 1 May.
Jacqi has a track record of listening and taking action. She has successfully been getting things done in Totnes and Dartington all year round.
These are just some of her achievements
- supporting young people
- helping families
- fixing potholes
- sorting out drainage to prevent flooding
- safer streets around schools
- implementing active travel routes
- fighting for better bus services
Jacqi also fought a successful campaign against cuts to community grants. Devon County councillors each get £8,000 a year to spend on supporting local causes. Jacqi saw off a proposal to reduce grants to £5,000, and the grants, known as locality budgets, will stay at £8000 this year.
Green Party councillors embody the principles of the Green Party and believe a better and happier world is possible. The people of Totnes and Dartington Division (which includes Harberton, Staverton and Bridgetown) have the opportunity to re-elect an excellent, hardworking and experienced candidate to deliver a vision for a low-carbon, sustainable future that benefits everyone.
Jacqi says: “Re-electing me as your local councillor, means I will be able to continue to achieve for you. I will continue to work hard for you as your councillor in challenging times. I want to keep working hard for everyone living and working in Totnes and Dartington county division.”
