Hi, I’m Sam Lambert — your Reform UK candidate for Forest Hall.
My roots are in Forest Hall — I grew up here, where my parents ran the local newsagent on Meadway for over 20 years. This community means a lot to me, and I care about getting the basics right for residents.
​
I’m not a career politician. I work as a Cyber Security Architect, solving complex problems and managing teams under pressure. I’ll bring that same straight-talking, no-nonsense approach to the council.
Right now, North Tyneside Council isn’t working for residents.
​
The council is £490 million in debt and is spending around £348,000 every week just on interest — money that should be going into local services.
​
Meanwhile, here in Forest Hall, we’re left with:
-
Potholes that never get fixed properly
-
Dirty streets and missed bins
-
Crumbling pavements
-
Rising council tax with falling standards
​
And now more development is being pushed through — putting extra pressure on roads, schools and GP services, while the basics are still being ignored.
​
We can do better.
As your councillor, I will:
-
Fight for better value for your council tax
-
Push for proper road and pavement repairs
-
Push back against overdevelopment and speak up for protecting our green spaces
-
Demand transparency so residents come first
For too long, North Tyneside has been dominated by one party.
​
​
Vote for change. Vote Sam Lambert on 7th May.
​​For decades, Labour has taken Forest Hall for granted.
Not because every resident agrees with them — but because there was no serious opposition.
​
-
Council tax keeps going up, including waste bin removals which were historically free is now up to from £0.00 before 2024 to £35 — same service but at a cost to you the tax payer. Yet the basics like potholes, pavements, and street cleanliness are getting worse, not better.
-
Too much focus on ideological schemes and not enough on fixing everyday local problems.
-
Safe-seat politics has bred complacency — Labour councillors rarely challenged and communities taken for granted.
-
Forest Hall needs a councillor who will challenge waste, demand value for money, and put the people of Forest Hall first.
Too many people stay home on election night thinking their vote won’t change anything.
That complacency is exactly how one-party rule survives.
This election on the 7th May can be different.​

As shown by our neighbours in Killingworth last year, history was made with a major upset,
Reform was elected for the first time in North Tyneside
proving that when people turn out, change happens.
Forest Hall can do the same.
and the momentum is with Reform.
