Emma Kelly
Reform UK candidate for West Hendon
I am standing in West Hendon to improve the area and restore basic standards that have been allowed to slip. I run a local property staging and interior design business, and having lived in Barnet for over 20 years, I have seen standards decline - with residents paying higher taxes but getting less in return If elected, my focus will be on practical improvements that make a visible difference - tackling fly tipping through enforcement and prevention, improving street cleaning, and ensuring potholes are properly fixed. I will push for a stronger community safety presence so residents feel safer and anti-social behaviour is dealt with early, not ignored. I will support sensible measures to strengthen our high streets, including short-stay free parking to make it easier for residents to shop locally. I am determined to make Barnet cleaner, safer and better managed.
