Brian Ingram
Independent candidate for Garden Suburb
I am standing at the May 7 Local elections in HGS. As an Independent Candidate. As many know for years I have been a de facto Councillor getting things done in HGS. And not just in the Rose Gardens! -I got the Lyttelton Cafe reopened after years of Barnet neglect. I got the Lyttelton Toilets fixed and repaired. There is now Soap and flushing. Even locks on the Cubicles; but still waiting for a Baby Changing Mat. -Behind the scenes I worked to get the Ossulton Way Zebra Crossing installed - fighting local Councillors and other local interests. -Falloden way is a big deal and my being elected will help me make this road safer. -Ask me about the Lyttelton Path! And the proposed waterworks! -I will donate my Councillors 'salary' (£15-25k) to the Community Updated 8 April 2026.
