Ian Alexander Parker

Labour candidate for Coombe Vale

Labour

Coombe Vale has been home to my partner and me for 25 years, and our son attends a local state secondary school. For most of this time, I have worked in and around Parliament, with the past 17 years spent advising senior members of the Labour Party. Before that, I headed up communications for a local government campaign group and worked in public affairs. Kingston needs Labour councillors to deliver our Labour Government’s plan for change.
