Kris Saravanan
Labour candidate for Surbiton Hill
I have lived in Kingston for more than 30 years. I am a retired local solicitor and remain closely connected to the community I have served throughout my career. I am particularly interested in supporting both young and older residents with access to legal advice and guidance. My children attended local primary and secondary schools, and I am proud of my long-standing ties to the area. My priorities include improving the local environment and street cleanliness, cracking down on graffiti and fly-tipping, and taking firm action on vandalism. Kingston Labour is committed to a cleaner, safer borough, stronger neighbourhood services, and better value for residents. Kingston needs stronger accountability and more transparent decision-making, where residents are properly listened to and services are delivered consistently. Kingston Labour will put local people first and focus on delivering real results for our community.
