Greenwich residents, along with Independent and Green councillors, have been campaigning to stop the Labour-controlled Greenwich Council from changing the borough’s Adventure Play Centres.

Because community concerns continue to be ignored, I am now considering standing as a councillor candidate for Plumstead Glyndon Ward in the May 2026 local elections—most likely as an Independent Socialist candidate in Greenwich. I am being supported by diverse communities in Plumstead, including the Nepalese Alliance, and by the newly formed Your Party, led by former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, which genuinely believes in investing in children, young people, and essential public services, rather than cutting or selling them off. I am also working to secure the support of the Green Party. After much reflection, I wanted to share this openly with you.

I have been a Labour Party member for many years. However, I have become increasingly disillusioned by the way grassroots concerns—particularly those affecting children, young people, families, and vulnerable communities—are being overlooked. I recently resigned my membership because I no longer felt that the Labour Party currently represents people like me.

This is not about ambition or party politics.
It is about values, accountability, and genuine representation.
