Cllr Bella Sankey

Bella was born and raised in Brighton & Hove and has lived here most of her life. She is a mum to two small toddlers and has a mixed heritage background. She is a trained lawyer and human rights campaigner and has worked for several NGOs and charities, most recently as director of a national charity. Bella was elected as a Labour Councillor for Wish Ward in a landslide by-election result in December 2022.

“I love this City and it runs through me like a stick of rock. But a mixture of national Tory neglect and local Green incompetence means we’re stagnating. For 20 years there’s been no-overall political control of our Council and looking around the City, it shows. As well as failures in basic service delivery – from weeds, to rubbish collections, to recycling – our City’s bigger challenges on housing, wellbeing & education are not being addressed. I want Brighton and Hove to be a beacon City for the rest of the UK and under a Labour majority administration I believe we can rebuild.”
