In Tom's own words

I am honoured to be standing as a Green Party candidate for Walpole.

Since moving to Ealing, I’ve grown to love life here – from evening walks in Walpole or Lammas Park to catching up with friends in our local cafes.

Having lived in Germany from the age of 10, I moved back to the UK to study marketing with economics at university. Over the years, I undertook a broad range of jobs – working in shops, pubs, kitchens, fundraising, volunteering and currently digital marketing. I later moved here with my partner, who works in youth justice.

As a member of Ealing Green Party I’ve had the pleasure of regularly speaking to local residents and campaigners, hearing about the issues facing our community – from fly-tipping to protecting Warren Farm. If elected, my first priority will always be to listen and provide a powerful voice to all of Walpole’s residents.

I believe my love for the area, understanding of local issues, and broad experience has given me a holistic view that would help me serve the community.
