Elizabeth Jones
Ealing Community Independents Party candidate for South Acton
Elizabeth joined Ealing Community Independents to protect public spaces and essential services from being lost to development or outsourcing. She has seen how the closure or sell‑off of children’s centres, adult care facilities (e.g. Michael Flanders Centre, Acton) and other community assets can leave residents without support. Elizabeth previously worked in the NHS and at Birkbeck, where she earned a PhD in cultural studies. Having lived in South Acton and returned over a decade ago, she is committed to ensuring public land, libraries, parks and social care remain in community use. Her goal is simple: a council that puts residents and public services first.
