Brighton and Hove Conservatives have selected Anthony (Tony) Meadows to be their candidate for the Westbourne and Poets Corner by-election on 1 May.

Mr Meadows was endorsed by the local Party’s Executive Council.   He was born in the city and has spent his whole life here.  He is married to Anne Meadows, who is a councillor for Patcham & Hollingbury.  They have two children.

As a self-employed antique furniture restorer, Mr Meadows is saddened at how Brighton & Hove’s heritage has been allowed to fall into disrepair.  “It’s disgraceful the way our wonderful city has been allowed to deteriorate.  I want to hold Labour and The Green Party to account for the damage they’ve done”, he said.  The recycling and rubbish collections are very "unreliable."

In addition to being a keen gardener, Mr Meadows cares deeply about the problems facing small businesses in the city. Since Labour came to power, 200,000 small businesses have folded across the country.  Mr Meadows is passionate about helping our small shops and other businesses to survive so that we have a vibrant city to live in.

Mr Meadows served as a school governor for many years.  He is concerned about the state of education in the city.  “School deficits have never been higher.  They are really struggling.”
