Paul Kyriakides
Reform UK candidate for Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown
I believe in democracy and I am asking you to trust me in this privileged position so that I can help change for the better. I have been a small-time landlord and developer, a train conductor, a train driver, a bus driver amongst other jobs. I have enjoyed meeting people and discussed our woes, likes and desires and I feel that this position would allow me to influence some decision made on behalf of the people living in Croydon. If elected I would like to get value for money in spending, try to reduce stress in people’s lives, make payments for parking more accessible and increase public seating. As a confident councillor with common-sense and a doctrine of following rules, regulations and doing the right thing, I am asking you to trust me in this position to stand up for real people with real lives. Let’s make 2026 a good year together.
