Florence Cyrot

I came to London 21 years ago from France and had the full London experience, first as a student benefiting from its world-renowned universities, then as a mother raising three children and now as a professional in the higher education sector living in Brixton in the Windrush ward. I began campaigning in 2016 to remain in the EU and then joined the Liberal Democrats after the referendum, as the only party which want to give the people the final say on the Brexit deal. As a pro-EU campaigner, I am particularly concerned about the implications of Brexit for local businesses and its impact on our communities. My previous job in the private sector made me well aware of the importance of promoting the local economy as it benefits services and makes people's lives better. I was proud to be the Liberal Democrat London Assembly candidate for Lambeth and Southwark in the London 2021 elections, pleased to be able to bring my expertise on education and children's services to the role.
