Sorcha Ni Chonghaile
Liberal Democrats candidate for Rotherhithe
Active on State
Dear neighbours, I’m standing for election because I believe our community deserves a council that listens, includes, and delivers. Every day - whether I’m teaching, supporting young people, or working alongside volunteers - I see the strength, kindness, and determination that make this city and area special. You deserve representatives who match that energy. My promise is simple: I will work hard for you, stay accessible, and make sure your voice is heard in every decision that affects our streets, our homes, and our future. I’m committed to practical solutions, honest conversations, and a council that puts people first. This election is your chance to choose the kind of representation you want for Rotherhithe. I’m asking for your support so we can build a fairer, safer, more connected community together. Thank you for taking the time to engage, to ask questions, and to care about the place we all call home. I’d be honoured to represent you. Warmly, Sorcha
