Sewell – Gary Champion
Gary is a proponent of leaving a sustainable legacy for our children and working locally to build a resilient city that works for all its citizens. He has worked as a teacher for over a decade and during this time campaigned to reform education, both as a parent and as a school governor.
As a teacher Gary campaigned for his school to install solar panels, promoted litter picking and raised the agenda of environmental stewardship.
He is concerned with local issues, such as the state of our parks and streets, but he also knows that the solution to many of our global ills, such as climate change and the extinction crisis, need to be addressed locally too.
Gary believes that Norwich City Council’s concentration of political power in the hands of one party ill-serves our fine city. Gary has not run for any political office before, but has an articulate and passionate voice, which he intends to use to hold the local administration to account.
Living in Sewell ward, Gary stands by his convictions and believes that there is nowhere better to create the change we want to see in the world than in our own neighbourhoods. He considers it important that neighbourhoods are represented by people who live in them.
