Sam Hills
Green Party candidate for Borough & Bankside
Green Party
I have lived in Southwark for 35 years, and after a varied career in education, as a childminder and early years specialist, I now work as an Educational Officer for the London Wildlife Trust. Working with and for families I know how important it is that we ensure that all have the opportunities our great Borough can offer. We need to work hard to make Borough and Bankside a safe and accessible space for all who work and live in this historic ward.
