Young Trailblazer Sam Smith Sets Sights on Becoming One of the Country’s Youngest Council Leaders with Ambitious Notts County Council Bid
Sam Smith, a 27-year-old Conservative councillor from Nottinghamshire, is aiming to become one of the youngest council leaders in the country with his bid to lead Nottinghamshire County Council. His announcement comes after the current leader, Ben Bradley, revealed he would step down on December 4 following a challenging year marked by election defeats. Smith, who represents Trent Valley on Gedling Borough Council and Newark East on the County Council, is optimistic about the future and believes his understanding of technology can drive efficiency in the council. He has previously made history as the youngest councillor on Gedling Borough Council and played a key role in local campaigns. Smith is confident that, despite financial challenges, the council can continue delivering key services and investments.
