  • Summary

  • Jacob was elected to serve the people of Bell Hill in a by-election on 28 August.

    He won a convincing 55% of the vote, but says he had no idea he was ahead until the very end.

    Shine Radio's Stephen Martin walked with Jacob through part of his ward, from Petersfield railway station to the foot of Bell Hill.

    Jacob is a local charity trustee who volunteers with organisations that champion poverty alleviation in the local community.

    It means that Bell Hill is represented entirely on the Town Council by candidates who are free of political party affiliations.

    A total of 413 people cast a vote in the ward.

    Jacob said before the election that his experience in risk and governance can help manage the proposed multi-million pound investment in Petersfield’s Festival Hall.
