Tomorrow is election day! 
This is your opportunity to show Labour that Headingley & Hyde Park deserves better! Our community deserves representatives who work hard to make our local area better for everyone.
Brandon has dedicated his time and energy to help our community where he can and as your elected Councillor will continue to serve in the best interests of our area.
If you want to see a cleaner, greener, and safer Headingley & Hyde Park – vote for Brandon and the Liberal Democrats! 
Our voice is the most important weapon we have as people. It empowers us to demand better for our communities. It enables us to call out those in power who fail to act when required. And it encourages us all to stand up for what is right.
Put that voice into action and vote Liberal Democrat on May 6th.
We stand for you, for your family, and for your community!

Today was a very humbling day as a candidate – often we spend a lot of time talking and not enough time listening.
Brandon and Kamran Hussain visited the Woodsley Road Community Centre Food Bank and spent time listening to the volunteers about what they need and what the local community needs to maximise its potential.
Listening to local people and learning about what they need is the best way any candidate or elected representative can best serve the community. As a Liberal Democrat, this is the cornerstone of our approach to representation!
Election day is exactly 1 week away! There is still time to send in your postal vote or plan when to vote on polling day.
This is your opportunity to demand better for Leeds and for Headingley & Hyde Park.
Let’s show Labour that our community is strongest when we all come together to solve local problems. Let’s show Labour that the Liberal Democrats are the best party to make our community cleaner, greener, and safer!
May 6 is just around the corner – if you are voting by postal vote or voting on the day make sure that you vote for the candidate that will best represent our local community.
To help you with that decision – please check out the letter below, which explains why voting for Brandon, as your local Liberal Democrat candidate, will ensure that your voice will finally be heard in Headingley & Hyde Park.
Dear friend,
On 6 May 2021, you have the chance to change Headingley & Hyde Park for the better.
As your Liberal Democrat candidate, I want to fight for our community as your representative on Leeds City Council. I am committed to ensuring that Headingley & Hyde Park is:
GREENER by opposing the expansion of Leeds Bradford Airport in the face of a climate emergency, pushing for better, greener public transport services and introducing kerbside glass and food waste collections.
CLEANER by ensuring that our bins are collected on time, fly-tipping is cleared efficiently, and graffiti is removed.
SAFER for women to walk the streets freely without fear by pushing for the Council to invest in better street lighting and to retain funding for our hard-working Police Community Support Officers.
More of the same or time for change?
For nearly 10 years under Labour, the residents of Headingley and Hyde Park have seen rubbish piling up, graffiti getting out of control, and noise nuisance going untackled.
The Liberal Democrats in Leeds have a strong record of opposing the Labour-run council in the chamber.
By voting Liberal Democrat on 6 May, you can send a strong message to Labour that our community deserves better.
With best wishes,
Brandon Ashford
PS: Remember if you are using a postal vote, you can cast it as soon as you receive your ballot.
Last week Brandon had the privilege of joining host Connor Lawson on his podcast Pint of Politics. They chatted about key issues such as mental health, housing quality, and the importance of young people putting their voice into action and voting for real change in Headingley & Hyde Park.
The Liberal Democrats have what it takes to beat Labour in our ward and to make our community better for everyone. With the additional support of young voters and Young Liberals we can win here.
Brandon has signed the End Fuel Poverty Pledge!
Ensuring that people have high quality and energy efficient homes is one of the best ways to raise the standard of living whilst keeping costs to residents and the environment down.
Fighting to end fuel poverty is not only the logical thing to do but is the morally right thing to do.
This Earth Day, we want to take the opportunity to reflect on how Brandon and your local Liberal Democrats are working to help protect the environment during this climate emergency:
1. Protecting our green spaces such as Woodhouse Moor to keep them clean, green, and safe for everyone.
2. Continuing to oppose the expansion of Leeds-Bradford airport.
3. Scrapping the DIY tax to help stop fly-tipping.
4. Adopting kerbside glass recycling across Leeds.
In the local elections: a vote for Brandon is a vote for a cleaner, greener, and safer Headingley & Hyde Park.
This week postal votes are arriving! When the time comes to make your mark, please remember those who have been making their mark to help improve our community.
Brandon and the Liberal Democrats offer a credible alternative and offer the best opportunity for your views to matter in your community.
For a cleaner
, greener
, and safer
Headingley & Hyde Park vote for Brandon.
You can let us know you’re voting Lib Dem here.
Brandon and Penny were out in Headingley today delivering letters and chatting to local residents.
Remember that tomorrow is the final day to register to vote in elections on May 6!
Only the Liberal Democrats are offering to make Headingley & Hyde Park cleaner, greener, and safer for everyone.
