Lis stands for Labour as Goldsmid by-election called for 23 July

A by-election is due to take place on 23 July resignation of the inactive Tory Councillor in Goldsmid Ward.

Labour and Co-operative candidate Lis Telcs is hoping to meet as many local residents as possible in the coming weeks. She has been working hard alongside Melanie Davis for over a year on campaigns like '20 is Plenty'.

No doubt people will be flooded by leaflets from all sides. We hope you support us based on our strong local record in the Goldsmid community over many years (see this website!).

Lis says, “I have been working alongside the hard working community Councillor Melanie Davis since last June and have met many people in the ward on the doorstep and at various events. I have petitioned people in the Highdown area for our “20 is plenty” campaign, spoken to people about the new communal bins and have attended family events such as street parties.”

I will be able to give the time and commitment to working for the people of Goldsmid ward."

Elisabeth Telcs is the Labour and Co-operative candidate for Goldsmid ward. She was selected by local Party members in June 2008 when it became clear one of the Conservative councillors was not doing his job and had moved out of the city.

Elisabeth is 43 and has been a primary school teacher in Hove, Shoreham and Worthing for almost 20 years.
