Will Aczel: the local voice fighting for Exeter
Will grew up, lives, and works right here in Exeter. He deeply cares about the issues we face. This is borne out by his tireless campaigning and hundreds of doorstep conversations.
Whether it’s his daily litter-picking, fundraising for local homelessness charities, work in Exeter’s independent food sector, or speaking up for his community, Will is passionate about making Exeter a place where we can all thrive.
If, like Will, you care deeply about investment, reform, and public control of our NHS; an action plan to end the disgusting sewage scandal; and, electoral reform to transform our politics for good: vote for real change. Vote Will Aczel for Exeter.
This is our chance for a fresh start, to get our voices heard with a fair deal for Exeter.
