I’ve lived in Thamesmead with my family for over 15 years, experiencing both the pride and challenges of our community. Thamesmead is a wonderful place, with its lakes, green spaces, and diverse population, but it faces issues that need urgent attention. My priorities are tackling antisocial behaviour to make our streets safer, tackling fly-tipping, ensuring housing repairs are done properly, fighting for more council investment, and giving young people real opportunities so they can thrive rather than feel left behind.
