Samara Barnes
Councillor in Rossendale, Lancashire
Hi.
I’m Samara. I’m a Local and County Labour Councillor living in Rossendale, Lancashire.
Im passionate about representation in politics and ensuring our local & national elected members truly represent the people they serve.
I love where I live and make sure that I always do my level best for those in my ward, division, Borough and indeed County.
I campaign about community safety, the cost of living crisis, food insecurity, period poverty, speeding, making misogyny a hate crime.
I'm particularly interested in making our ‘place’ somewhere that people want to work, raise a family in, feel safe in and grow old in.
I also provide PHSE lessons in schools on Politics (none partisan), Local Leadership and Community Action.
I'm a Co-Founder of Safer Rossendale and a governor at Haslingden Primary School.
I am also on the Exec Committee as the Affected Communities Lead for UKAPTB and have attended the APPG for Worldwide Tuberculosis.
Outside of politics, I work for a national children's charity.
