Our Local Representatives
At the local elections in 2018, we successfully elected a Labour Councillor to represent Calverley and Farsley, Peter Carlill. Due to his work on behalf of local residents, Peter was subsequently re-elected in 2019 and 2023. He continues to deliver a programme of big ideas in our area such as enhancing parks and green spaces, improving buses and public services, introducing youth clubs – improving lives for everyone. You can contact Peter about any local concerns using the details on the right, or find out more about what he has been up to and a list of surgery dates around the ward on his Facebook page.
In the local elections in 2024, our candidate Craig Timmins was elected to join Peter as our councillor. As a local resident and community campaigner, Craig is keen to focus his work on supporting local businesses and services and making the best of our local area – making it a great place to grow up in, work in and have a family in.
