Sachin Patel

Liberal Democrats candidate for East Finchley

Liberal Democrats

I live on The Grange estate in East Finchley where I have fought to protect vital green spaces in the area from overdevelopment. The disruption and anger caused by the poorly-planned A1000 cycle lane make me determined that we build a cycle network across the area that allows all road users to coexist in harmony. In my day job I advise public-sector organisations on strategy. I'm a keen runner, cyclist and dog-owner. I want to ensure that everyone feels safe on their doorstep, to promote green infrastructure, and to preserve what makes the area in special against the threat of over-development.
