Like, yeah, like probably one of the hardest parts of my life are the years that I lived here.

And I know that when you're going through those challenges, which all of us do, like I'm no different to anyone else.

the everyday parts of life make your life even harder.

And I also just saw that when I moved, when I moved and I didn't have pavement parking and I didn't have fly tipping and I didn't have my dogs eating all sorts off the streets because there's just litter everywhere.

Like my life just was just a little bit easier.

And I thought, I don't want that.

I don't want people when they're struggling like I did for their lives to be made even harder by things that could be fixed.

And I do really want to talk so much more about the difference in things like air quality and life expectancy.

We should not live in a city that has one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

It's the fastest growing economy in the UK.

And we just have a difference that we just accept that if you grow up here and you're a kid, you're more likely to live in poverty.

You're not going to breathe air that's as clean as somewhere else.

You're not going to get to go to a good enough school.

I just don't want to live in a world like that.

And again, had I not had that penny drop moment, it's just shaped who I am.

And it's the reason why I keep fighting, certainly through the abuse and fighting to try and do what's right.

Um, I don't know.

I say I love the Chimneys one, but in all seriousness, that is actually someone's house.

Like the graphic that was shared with that, like that is a house in Hale where I'm a councillor.

I don't live in Hale.
