“In Brian's own words
“Hello, my name is Brian. I am an English Christian who has lived in Selhurst since 2011 and married a Nigerian woman in South Norwood in 2015. I am a law graduate and a qualified counsellor.”
“I am standing for Reform to represent and serve residents of Selhurst in the 2026 local elections. Reforming Croydon Council cannot wait. Croydon Council too often doesn’t get the basics right, for instance the website croydon.gov.uk remains much it was when originally registered. It is close to unusable for many residents.”
“I will work with Council Cabinet members and staff to redesign a functional and modern website that is accessible and effective for Croydon residents and visitors. I have personal experience in using Croydon Council’s housing services and dispute resolution procedures. My professional life has included automation of financial services contracts, reducing costs by 30% and ensuring absolute data integrity.”
“Croydon Council needs to be reformed to work for residents.”
“Elect me, Brian Putman for Reform UK to represent the residents of Selhurst Ward in May 2026.”
