Let's prove Middleton & Belle Isle can get real representation. A vote for me is a vote to get our community the investment it needs. Then we all win.
I work and live in this Community every single day. I have lived
here all my life. It does not take an election for you to see me around. We deserve better than absentee councillors; Middleton & Belle Isle deserves better.
We deserve real representation for Middleton & Belle Isle. Ask yourself: What were our councillors doing for our community before they were elected? Nothing. Even once they are elected, what do they do when there is not an approaching election? Not much.
I live here. i work here. You see me and know me. I am always trying to improve things for as many middleton and Belle Isle residents as I can.Elect me and I will make sure Leeds City Council understand how much we are disappointed in them.I will make sure they work for Middleton and Belle Isle, and not just the City Centre.
If I win, you win, so Win With Wayne.
Labour has lost our trust!
Traditionally, our area has voted Labour. I did. We did this because we trusted the party, and did not think much about the local candidate.
These days, Labour offers us career politicians who live In places such as Otley or Guiseley and have no personal ties to Middleton or Belle Isle. How can they solve our local problems when they don't understand them? How can they understand them when they are never here? Not that they care: for them, representing us is just another step on the party ladder.
The time has come to judge the candidates on individual merit? It is time to forget about our old party allegiancies. We trusted them, and they let us down. We must therefore focus on the candidate's efforts, achievements and ideas.
Has the candidate really made a sizeable positive difference to local people's lives? Or are they just the latest empty suit put up by the Labour Party?
Do we want to represent ourselves or do we want someone from out of the area who will fail us again? I want us, the members of our community, to be making the decisions, not someone who lives nearly an hour away. Middleton and Belle Isle votes must go to Middleton and Belle Isle people.

The table on the left shows the Middleton Park ward (Middleton & Belle Isle) at the last council elections. Labour likes to
pretend that the Conservative Party is its main oppostition in Middleton and Belle Isle. This is a trick. They want to fool you into thinking a vote against them is a vote for the Tories. That is why
they spend more time talking about the Tories than they do about Middleton and Belle Isle. However, as you can see, I am the real opposition; the Conservative candidate has never finished above
me.
I have consistently increased my vote share for the Social Democratic Party and continue to do so as the turnout
increases.
In both 2018 and 2019, less than a quarter of those registered to vote in Middleton and Belle Isle actually did so. In 2021 we had 27.8% of voters turn out, which leaves a massive 72.2% of people who can make real change. Results show that the more people who turn out, the closer I get - that's a fact.
We all care for our community. We can all see how great it can be if it had a councillor who understood our community and wanted to work hard to improve it. We all know Middleton & Belle Isle deserves better. However, nothing will change unless the 72.2% of people who didn't vote last time take half an hour to get to the ballot box and send a message to Leeds City Council. They will not listen unless you do!
One thing is clear, the more people that vote, the closer to removing Labour I become.
- In 2021 I had 34.7% of the vote, only 27.8% of people voted, The SDP was 2nd - only 350 away from Labour.
- In 2019 I gained 23.6% of the vote, only 22.4% of people voted, The SDP was 2nd - only 852 away from Labour.
- In 2018 I gained 11% of the vote, only 22.3% of people voted, The SDP was 2nd - 1134 away from Labour.
