Leanne is Poole born and bred, living on Turlin Moor until she was almost 30, and in Poole Town now for over 10 years.

She is passionate about politics, but more importantly, she is passionate about her home town and its residents - she wants to help make; Poole... it's a beautiful place, again.

A local and national activist for the best part of 10 years now, Leanne is proud of the relationships she has formed with people across the political spectrum, especially coming from such a humble background.

She would now love nothing more than to put all of her skills together and to good use by being elected by the people of Poole Town to serve the people of Poole.

Leanne joined Ukip last year and this is her first time standing as a Candidate for them. She is a single Mum of a 16 year old son.
