“In Ola's own words
“I live in Kenley with my wife Fiona and our two-year-old daughter Chloe. We love Kenley and have chosen to make it our home for our young family.”
“I’ve been a committed community activist for my entire working life. I’m proud to have spent a large amount of my career leading with lots of different groups to promote community cohesion, particularly among young people. For me, nothing is more important than building a strong, passionate community. If I’m lucky enough to be elected as the next Councillor for Kenley, that’s what you’ll get from me 24 hours a day.”
“That’s what I think Kenley needs. We’re full of so many incredible local groups run by committed local people. I want to work with you all to ensure you get the support that you need from Croydon Council.”
