Kim Arrowsmith
Green Party candidate for Elm Park
Kim Arrowsmith is a Deputy Headteacher, who has worked in Barking and Dagenham for 7 years. He is very concerned about the chronic underfunding of our public services by the current Tory Government, and particularly the impact this is having on the ability of our schools and hospitals to deliver for the local community in Dagenham and Rainham. He also believes in protecting our vital green spaces from the threat of over development and repurposing abandoned and disused residential and commercial properties as sustainable housing.
