Aidan Stimson
Labour candidate for West Dulwich
I’m Aidan Stimson and I'm proud to be standing as your West Dulwich Labour and Co-operative candidate. Originally from Australia, I've called Lambeth home for over a decade. I know West Dulwich well - as a local resident and former caseworker for Helen Hayes MP. From my work and life experiences, I believe that I would make a great local councillor for the residents in West Dulwich. I developed a unique skill set, which includes: - Dealing with casework and surgeries in Lambeth - Assisting with community meetings - Listening to various concerns and advocating on behalf of residents - Detailed knowledge of West Dulwich, both from living locally and working closely with previous councillors and my running partner Judith Cavanagh. I now work for Ed Miliband MP as his Parliamentary Assistant, helping to deliver for his constituents in Doncaster North. I have a young family, and I care deeply for our environment, our community and neighbourhood, and I will do my best to deliver for our ward. If elected, I will build on the excellent work of Fred Cowell, and work closely with Judith Cavanagh to be a visible, accessible councillor who listens and champions West Dulwich every step of the way.
