CHARLOTTE Peters has won the election to become sports officer of Swansea University students’ union.
Charlotte took victory with 51% of the vote compared to her opponent Joel Stevens Leach who received less than 45% of the votes for sports officer. Votes for RON received 2% of the remaining vote.
Charlotte promised in her manifesto to maintain equal levels of help and support for all clubs, no matter what their size. She wants to have intramural leagues between colleges to help promote sport throughout the university and the student body. She also wishes to continue the current work of education officer Zahid Raja to keep Wednesdays free.
Charlotte has also promised to lobby for a greater subsidy for facility fees to help reduce costs for individuals, aiming to also improve match facilities for clubs currently feeling dissatisfied.
She said: “I’m just in shock a little bit. Obviously I’m massively, massively happy but it just hasn’t sunk in. I’m just all over the place at the minute.
“I’ve been campaigning all this week so hard and that’s all we’ve been focused on and now it’s all over.”
