I’m standing for West Thamesmead on Greenwich Council because this ward needs strong, responsive representation. With major development planned and disruption ahead, residents need practical solutions that work now. People are living through road closures, diversions, noise and dust, while existing challenges continue.

My priorities are simple: safer streets, cleaner estates, greener spaces and a ward that is properly connected. Safer and cleaner means action on anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping, litter, noise, broken lighting, potholes and unsafe pavements. These are shared challenges in shared spaces, and progress must be swift, visible and measurable.

Connected also means connected as a community. That requires community spaces: places to meet, organise, support one another, and build belonging. When local spaces close and nothing replaces them, community life thins and isolation grows. The closure of the Princess Alice is a clear warning sign.

More connected also means homes that are healthy and warm. Too many residents are dealing with damp, poor insulation, and energy and heating issues. For residents who drive, the lack of accessible EV charging needs a local solution.

I will be the community’s representative in the council.

Residents first. Today.
