Guy William Rupert Matthews
Conservative candidate for Dulwich Wood
Guy has lived in Southwark for 20 years. He has a young family who enjoy spending time in the area's glorious parks and woods. He believes there is nothing more important than the voice of local people and will focus on the issues affecting daily lives in Dulwich Wood. He's committed to being a hands-on, approachable Councillor who listens and delivers results for residents. Guy loves sport and can be found happily cheering on Dulwich Hamlet on a Saturday afternoon. If elected, he will work with Network Rail and TfL to get step-free access at Sydenham Hill Station, and work with local charities to establish a hub to provide support for elderly residents living alone in Dulwich.
