We're calling on Cllr Jessica Toale MP to resign

Where's Jessica

After working for over a year on the south west coast – nearly 100 miles from the West End – Cllr Toale has been elected a Labour MP in Bournemouth West. 

Locally we’ve been losing out. Councillors are supposed to represent their local area – and there is no way someone who is working in Bournemouth can be representing our interests too. It’s simply not right. 

Here in the West End, we deserve councillors who live and work in here, who spend their time here and not focusing on a political career at the other end of the country.

Bearing in mind her new job has a salary of £91,346 and expenses of over £200,000 a year, we say that Cllr Toale should stand down from the Council now and should not claim any Councillor allowances.

Councilor Jessica Toale should resign

I would like to be kept up-to-date by the Conservatives on future issues that matter to me: There will be an easy way to opt out of future messages. For more information on how we handle your data and your rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
