Donald Osaro Ekekhomen
Conservative candidate for Waddon
I have lived in Croydon for over 16 years and in Waddon for nine of those. I live with my young family and we use the local facilities where available- surgery, play group, cafe, motor mechanic and church. We are active members of St Dominic and St Mary's Catholic Churches and attend activities in others like St George's church. I am a local pharmacist manager and have helped in delivery of healthcare to local residents for about 15 years. I am passionate about family and community engagement. His priorities include tackling local crime, dealing with waste collection, and making our parks safer for children to play by getting the grass cut and the local pond cleared.
