Tessa Fitzjohn

Tessa is energetic, hard-working and organised. She is an experienced project manager and fundraiser and has lived on Windmill Hill since 1997. Tessa wants to see more significant investment in Bedminster, improving facilities for children and older people, cycling and walking, creating liveable neighbourhoods and ensuring residents are consulted on development.

Tessa listens to residents and takes action. She contacted Ashton Gate to argue for residents concerns regarding Longmore Village development, alerted the press to Ashton Vale residents facing the destruction of their roads from lorries when councillors ignored residents calls, and encouraged residents to create ’Liveable Neighbourhood Groups’ to make their streets safer, quieter and healthier.

Tessa’s pledge to Bedminster residents: To be vigilant to their concerns, working hard to put Bedminster first.
