Wandsworth will hold elections for the council on 5 May, with control of the council finely poised. I am supporting the three fantastic candidates below for Tooting Bec to turn Wandsworth red!
Sheila Boswell
Sheila is an experienced councillor, with years of service to the community already under her belt. Whether it’s fighting cuts to children services, helping to save jobs, campaigning for safer streets, getting green spaces opened up to the public or getting rubbish cleared from our streets, she will always speak up for local residents.
She worked for Save the Children for many years on national and global campaigns including Make Trade Fair and Make Poverty History. She’s lived in the borough for over 25 years where she raised her son as a single mum. |
Annamarie Critchard
Annamarie has lived in Wandsworth since 1981 and has been a councillor for Tooting ward since 2014. Her background is in IT and the NHS, working with GPs as a practice manager and then a commissioner.
She has been on the Planning Committee for much of her time as councillor and has seen much of London's new skyline through the committee. As well as being a councillor, she volunteers at her local Oxfam bookshop, helps with a local Woodcraft Folk group for children, supports AFC Wimbledon and plays bridge. |
Paul White
Paul has been a football coach, youth leader and is a councillor now. He has always been motivated
to help in the community. He volunteers for Tooting Community Kitchen Foodbank, is a member of Community Renewable Energy Wandsworth and has been Housing speaker for the Wandsworth Labour Group. Paul wants to increase substantially the number of decarbonised, decent, secure, lower rent and council rent homes, tackling energy poverty, rising homelessness and waiting lists numbers in the borough. |
