I have been living here in Notting Hill for the past 8 years, on Westbourne Grove in our area for the last 4. I love our community here and am standing to make sure it remains special. Too many local businesses are being closed down and replaced by shop after shop selling the same tourist tat. Residents are being pushed out of their homes to make way for short-term lets. With nobody to live here, there will be no Notting Hill left. Rhidi and I will stand up and take the fight to RBKC; protecting our fantastic community for years to come. We will bring new ideas to tackle our litter and overflowing bins, reduce the rat-running which has clogged up our once quiet roads, and put a stop to the petty crime which is on the rise in our area.
