Jim Dickson, a long-term Labour Councillor in Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction has stepped down – giving us a huge opportunity to win a by-election on May 1st.
We’re delighted to introduce Paul Valentine, the candidate who’s going to join our existing councillors Scott Ainslie and Nicole Griffith to challenge the Labour monopoly of Lambeth council.
Paul has been a private renter here in Herne Hill for ten years, and works at the Southbank Centre alongside being an actor, tour guide and holding trade union roles.
“I’m standing because I love our area, and Labour aren’t listening to what we need.”
Paul Valentine
Paul will fight for:
- Protecting green spaces such as Brockwell Park and Ruskin Park
- Defending Carnegie Library
- Tough scrutiny and following the money to hold the administration to account over key decisions
- Improved housing services
- Opposition to the selling off of council assets and the demolition of housing estates
- Ensuring local voices are heard loud and clear and Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction gets its fair share of resources
- Less congested and cleaner streets
- Better and more accessible public transport
- Cleaner air
- Better access to public toilets.
- Holding Lambeth Council to account in relation to the Genocide in Gaza.
If we’re to win this, we need as many Greens as we can out doorknocking and delivering leaflets to show that Greens can win, and Paul is the best choice for Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction. Labour have already mobilised quickly, with many of their 57 councillors on the doorsteps. With enough boots on the ground we will build awareness of the election, support for Paul, and get the vote out on the day!
