Jamie Sweeney was elected to represent Clarendon on Leamington Town Council in July 2024.
Leamington born and bred, Sweeney has long been a passionate campaigner for fair, social housing. He led a successful campaign for affordable university accommodation in the town and has been working to encourage the Labour Party to adopt ambitious plans for more council homes.
“House prices are very high, and rents are incredibly expensive. I know it is really hard for many families and young people to be able to afford to live here.
“Many people are finding that housing costs are eating up all their income, which has a serious effect on the quality of life. As a town councillor, I want to make the case for more affordable homes.”
Sweeney’s campaign priorities also include revitalising the town centre, protecting green space, local action on tackling the climate emergency and value-for-money services.
Sweeney has been deeply immersed in local issues, having spent seven years working for Warwick and Leamington MP Matt Western.
