Eileen Means

Eileen qualified as a Social Worker after graduating from university. Eventually she became the first female Director of Social Services and Housing in the South West. Since the 2016 Brexit Referendum, Eileen has campaigned actively with Bristol for Europe to remain in EU. She has been Chair and Vice Chair of Bristol for Europe. She is currently the Chair of Bristol Bordeaux Partnership, the twinning association between the two cities.

Eileen wants to protect our NHS along with cleaner air and better, less polluting transport. She says; “Bishopston and Ashley Down, and Bristol, deserves an end to austerity and better public services. With our Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire and Mayor Marvin Rees, your local Labour team will oppose cuts and campaign to improve the services that we all need.”
