Meet Lauren Fulbright
Lauren Fulbright is your Liberal Democrat candidate for Southgate & Wood Green.
A local parent and hardworking campaigner - Lauren is on a mission to restore your faith in politics.
Enfield has been home to me and my family for the last 12 years. During this time, I have been actively involved in the community and have become increasingly aware of the issues facing Southgate & Wood Green residents, including the steady decline in public and social services and of the local area itself, and the resulting strain on people’s everyday lives. The pandemic and cost-of-living crisis served to highlight these issues even further, demonstrating the vast inequalities within the borough.
In 2022, I stood as a Liberal Democrat council candidate, campaigning against the ill-thought-through LTNs imposed on Southgate by Labour-run Enfield Council: as well as fighting to protect our local greenbelt, enhance essential green spaces, and regenerate our local high streets. Conversations on the doorsteps revealed a strong desire for political change, a shift away from two-party politics, and despair at the declining state of public services. Many people felt hopeless; grappling with a cost-of-living crisis that forces them to focus on day-to-day survival rather than striving for a better future for themselves, their families, and communities.
The Liberal Democrats offer sensible, forward-thinking solutions to these fundamental issues. Our commitment to fairness and equality can help bridge the gaps within our community, empowering individuals to aspire to a better future. By addressing these critical concerns, the Liberal Democrats will work to restore faith in the political system and inspire a renewed sense of possibility for Southgate and Wood Green residents.
