“In Greta's own words
“I have lived in the Borough for 30 years and currently live in Surbiton Town Centre. I am semi-retired after a career that included spending 20 years working in Local Government for Westminster Council, providing welfare advice and support to vulnerable tenants. Until recently, I was a full time official for the public sector trade union, Unison, advising members working in London boroughs including Kingston. I currently serve on Kingston Council’s Standing Advisory Committee on Religious Education in Schools. I am passionate about tackling inequality through providing decent homes, safe streets and employment opportunities for all our residents.”
