For far too long, residents across Hertsmere have watched the same old parties prop up the same failed policies: the continued destruction of our Green Belt, more unnecessary 20mph zones, stretched infrastructure, poor road maintenance, parking problems, and costly decisions that only make life harder for real people.
And whenever residents raise their concerns, there’s no real opposition to hold those in power to account on their behalf.
Whether it’s Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem, or Green, the establishment has become too comfortable defending the broken status quo – leaving residents to suffer the consequences alone.
➡️ That’s why the Bushey Park by-election on Thursday, 25 June, matters so much.
Katie Elman is standing for Reform UK to challenge complacency and give Bushey Park a strong voice on Hertsmere Borough Council.
Her campaign focuses on real issues that affect all of us every day:
🌳 PROTECT OUR GREEN BELT
Oppose overdevelopment, excessive housing schemes, and planning applications that strain local services.
🛣️ FIX OUR ROADS
Push for pothole repairs, road maintenance, and practical improvements that residents can actually see.
🚗 IMPROVE PARKING & CHALLENGE 20MPH ZONES
Stand up for residents and local businesses affected by poor traffic and parking decisions.
🛍️ SAVE OUR HIGH STREET
Protect local shops, pubs, cafés, and small businesses, and support free parking for up to one hour.
🛡️ TACKLE CRIME & ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
Support a stronger police presence, safer streets, youth initiatives, and proper partnerships with local groups.
💷 PROTECT TAXPAYERS’ MONEY
Question unnecessary spending, identify waste, and focus on essential services instead of costly vanity projects.
Bushey Park doesn’t need more of the same. It needs a serious councillor prepared to ask difficult questions, challenge the status quo, and finally prioritise people over profit.
No more incompetence or complacency.
No more managed decline.
No more taking residents for granted.
Vote for a real voice.
Vote for common sense.
Vote Reform.
