In Paul's own words

Paul is an environmental barrister and the founder of both Lawyers for Nature and the River Roding Trust.

Every day he fights against irresponsible corporations and to make our community a better place to live.

Paul has been an expert speaker to the London Assembly, an invited delegate to the 2024 UN Biodiversity Conference, and appears often in national media.

His debating skill and attention to detail make him the ideal independent voice to represent Thames View and scrutinise Labour on our council.
