Richard Bruce

Reform UK candidate for Cricklewood

Reform UK

I have lived in Barnet all my life and understand the issues facing local residents. After more than 25 years building a successful career in the City, I now also care for my elderly mother, giving me first-hand experience of the pressures so many families face. I am a volunteer with the Royal Free Trust, supporting a new initiative to improve the experience of patients and their families. I have also successfully campaigned against misguided proposals from Barnet Council. I will bring professional integrity and a practical, common-sense approach to problem-solving if elected — focused on improving the everyday lives of local people.
