Cllr Edward Davie

I have lived in Lambeth practically all of my adult life and I love its lively culture and diversity.

Having worked as a political journalist and been involved in union activites for many years I felt I had knowledge and skills to help make the borough a safer, prosperous and fairer place for the people who live here.

It was a great honour to have been elected on May 6 2010 to represent the people of Thornton – I intend to repay their trust by working hard on the issues that they raised with me during the campaign.

Improving social housing is a key priority and by taking a place on the board of Clapham Park Homes I intend to make sure residents are listened to and that improvements are made on the estate.

I will also sit on Thornton’s Safer Neighbourhood Team panel and I want to make sure that crime is kept to a minimum and young people are given more opportunities to get involved in constructive activities.

It is my intention to always champion the people I represent so all residents should feel free to contact me to express their views and I will do my best to take action on their behalf.
