Judith Cavanagh
Labour candidate for West Dulwich
I’ve worked for charities campaigning on UK child poverty, climate and economic justice. I have children in local state schools and am passionate about ensuring West Dulwich is a neighbourhood with opportunities for all children, safe for women and young people and a tidier, pleasant environment for all with less pollution, safer cycling and free of flytipping.
