Randy Conteh

Councillor in Stoke

I have been a councillor on Stoke on Trent City Council for nearly seven years now and although it’s been extremely hard work I have genuinely enjoyed it.

My role includes addressing individual resident’s concerns and issues, responding to local petitions or organising successful consultation events, combined with fun-days and I work hard to balance my private and home life alongside trying to improve other people’s lives.

Free time for me is spent supporting our local football team, socialising and spending a considerable amount of time and effort organising local charity events.

Getting my point across is really important to me so I regularly attend both council and committee meetings where I like to have my say. People often tell me I’m always quoted in the local paper, but if you tell the truth, speak from the heart and most often talk common sense, then people will listen. This, more often than not, helps to achieve my aims, which after all, are always on behalf of the people who voted for me in the first place and of course who I still love to represent!
