Anne Meadows was elected as a Councillor for Patcham Ward at a by-election in May 2021.

A key feature of Anne's by-election campaign was her call to save the urban fringe in Patcham ward from the development threatened by the Council's City Plan document.

Since the by-election Horsdean Recreation Ground has been removed from the plan, in a great win for community.

Since being elected at the by-election Anne has brought a number of local issues to the attention of the Council on behalf of Patcham and Hollingbury residents, including the failing Allotments service and the collapse of the City's annual City in Bloom competition.  Anne is running a campaign to bring back City in Bloom in 2022.

An experienced Councillor, Anne has previously represented the Ward of Moulsecoomb & Bevendean on the City Council and served as Mayor of Brighton and Hove.
