Cllr Keith Aspden

I’ve been the Liberal Democrat Councillor for Fulford ward, to the south of the city of York, for the past 5 years. I was elected in May 2003, and re-elected in 2007. I live locally, on Main Street in Fulford. It is a great honour to represent Fulford at the Council.  

Fulford village has rural characteristics and a close community, but Fulford is also close to the city centre, linked to South Bank by Millennium Bridge, and one of the main routes out of the city, to the A19. There are a number of key areas in Fulford ward, from Selby Road, through to Fordlands Road, Main Street and Heslington Lane - including all surrounding roads. 

Fulford is currently part of the Selby parliamentary constituency, but will be part of the new York Outer parliamentary constituency at the next general election. 

Fulford’s community is founded on its village feel, and also relies on the communities of its two schools - Fulford School and St Oswald’s Primary School, as well as its amenities along Main Street, Fulford Road and  elsewhere. It was a great loss to Fulford when our Post Office on Main Street closed earlier this year. Fulford also has a Parish Council with which I work closely.

I am keen to hear from residents about local issues and concerns, so please do contact me using the links on the left.
