A former Bridgnorth Endowed School student is standing as an official Labour candidate in the upcoming local elections with the pledge to \u201cpromote a more sustainable future\u201d for the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nineteen-year-old Arlie Chetter, who was born and bred in Bridgnorth, feels passionately that there needs to be significant change and is campaigning hard for votes in next Thursday\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He commented: \u201cI feel strongly about what happens to our town and fighting for its interests. Given the opportunity, I will stand up and speak out for better investment in the future of Bridgnorth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur infrastructure is being neglected, our services threatened by large housing developments, the local environment ignored and the needs of our young people completely overlooked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a solid track record of supporting the local community, Arlie has made a real difference in so many ways. For several years, he\u2019s taken part in the Bridgnorth Walk and raised thousands of pounds for the town\u2019s food bank \u2013 a big responsibility as the charity\u2019s only walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A keen advocate for environmental issues, he has participated in initiatives such as a Wildlife Trust tree planting project on the edge of town, which saw almost one thousand trees being planted over two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, Arlie got involved in a campaign to save Bridgnorth\u2019s Innage Lane Youth Club, after Shropshire Council withdrew funding following changes to how it delivers youth services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from his political aspirations, Arlie works at a renewable energy plant and runs his own garden maintenance business, which has gone from strength to strength since its launch three years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even during his time at the school, the popular student threw himself into a multitude of extra-curricular activities, which he claims \u201cset him up well for life as an active resident of Bridgnorth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish Arlie the best of luck in next week’s elections and pass on his plea to \u201cVote Arlie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local elections take place on Thursday 6 May and Arlie Chetter is standing for Shropshire Council in Bridgnorth East and Astley Abbotts.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
