In Zach's own words

Having lived in Kelsey and Eden Park ward my entire life, am deeply familiar with the

concerns of local residents. Since joining the Green Party last year, I have been proud to

represent the interests of young people and families under a banner I trust to stand up

for ordinary people and reflect their voices in decision-making.

As your representative on Bromley Council, I would prioritise road safety, particularly

on Wickham Road and Upper Elmers End Road, which have become hotspots for

dangerous driving. I would advocate the introduction of 20mph speed limits on the

most dangerous roads, ensuring that Bromley aligns with the 2022 changes to the

Highway Code, which place greater responsibility on motorists and prioritise

pedestrians at crossings and junctions. Fatal and life-changing accidents have no place

on our streets, and I would work to reduce the risks on our roads.

As a volunteer at Dorset Road Allotments, I understand the value of protecting our

green spaces, including parks and nature reserves. I would campaign for renewed

investment in Kelsey Park, reversing years of Conservative neglect. The closure of the

main bridge since 2021, with restoration works only commencing in January 2026, is

emblematic of wider challenges facing Bromley: continued service reductions

alongside repeated council tax increases.

I believe the time has come to seek change at council level, guided by the Green Party’s

commitment to an equitable society, where working people can thrive rather than

feeling the pinch.
