Frank Beddington
Liberal Democrats candidate for Chiswick Riverside
Frank is 57 years old and an eighth-generation West Londoner who has lived in Brentford, Acton and Chiswick. As a disabled person and a parent, he is passionate about pushing the local government to prioritise pavement maintenance and improve conditions for pedestrians, including those with pushchairs or mobility devices. He believes Riverside is a beautiful ward whose residents deserve better, and argues that the current Labour-run council treats the area as a cash cow, diverting resources elsewhere - something he says must change.
