Grant McKenna
Liberal Democrats candidate for High Barnet
WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO STOP THE 11-STOREY DEVELOPMENT AT HIGH BARNET TUBE STATION About me: Born in New Zealand, I moved to the UK in 1998 and to High Barnet more than 13 years ago. My two children attend Christ Church Primary and QEGS, with my son soon to start at the Ark. I have been serving as a parent trustee at QEGS for two years. I work for a consultancy specialising in tech solutions for the public sector. In 2022 I led the launch of the Homes for Ukraine scheme which matched refugees in urgent need with host families in the UK. We're lucky to live here and it would be a privilege to have the opportunity to represent you.
