Huntingdonshire Green party has announced that Brian Moore will be their candidate for the Eaton Ford ward at the St Neots Town Council by-election on October 12.

Mr Moore, orginally from north London, has lived in St Neots with his family for the past 12 years.

He says he was drawn to the market town due to its expansive open spaces, picturesque riverside, and vibrant community events, which all played a significant role in his decision to make St Neots his home.

Many in the community will recognise Mr Moore for his role as the organiser behind this year's inaugural festival parade, which took place in Priory Park in June.

In recent years, he has immersed himself in various community activities, actively participating in local organisations such as the roller-skating club, litter picking groups, and the junior park run, among others.

Speaking after being selected, he said: "I am running in this by-election for Eaton Ford because I genuinely care.

"I care deeply about our town and its rich history. We must always remember the remarkable individuals who laid the foundation for St Neots as a thriving market town and a hub for community events.

"Gordon Thorpe was one of those extraordinary individuals, and it is both an honor and a privilege to run as a candidate in the ward he held dear."

Mr Moore went on to talk about some of the projects he feels passionate about.

"If elected, I have a series of proposed projects aimed at connecting all districts within St Neots, fostering growth for our local independent businesses and strengthening our High Street."

He concluded, "Furthermore, I am deeply concerned about our town's environmental future.

"The global environmental challenges we face are formidable, and St Neots has its own set of unique issues, from weed control to carbon emissions on our High Street.

"I pledge to be a strong advocate for the residents of Eaton Ford and all of St Neots, working
tirelessly to make our town a cleaner, greener, and more harmonious
place for us all to cherish, alongside our friends and families.
