Dear Voter
I am writing to remind you of the by-election due to be held here in the Hoxne & Eye division of Suffolk County Council on the 10th of October.
I am standing to succeed the late Peter Gould, who had been your representative on the County Council from 2021 until this July. It is an honour to fight this by-election in our area, with its beautiful landscapes, great food, and lovely community spirit. It is my favourite place to be.
I currently live near Laxfield with my family and our three dogs, and so while I enjoy the great things our area has to offer, I also see the issues that we face from day to day. From improving rural bus services and tackling the lack of access to banking facilities to ensuring proper highways maintenance and preserving our beautiful countryside, these are the challenges that I want to tackle with your support. I know that HGV routes have been a particularly pressing issue for a lot of residents, and I am committed to finding a balanced solution that benefits all communities within the area.
I have previously worked in both the environmental industry, as well as the Higher Education sector, and I know that my experience in these areas will prepare me well to serve you from day one of being elected. I believe that in this role, collaboration is key, and that by working together, we can make a real difference. If you elect me, I'll be your county councillor until the local elections in May 2025, when you'll have the opportunity to decide again who you want to represent you. I am determined to prove to you that my party is the party of delivery and service, both locally and county-wide, and the right party to represent you.
Over the coming weeks, I will be out and about in the division, keen to meet as many of you as possible and hear your thoughts, concerns, and priorities. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to chat. Your concerns are my concerns, and I am here to ensure they are addressed.
I look forward to working for you and with you.
Best wishes,
Henry Lloyd
