Maxwell Oliver Freedman

Labour candidate for Surbiton Hill

Labour

I grew up in New Malden and have lived in the Borough all my life. I am a trade unionist and political researcher and know that we can do better for our area. Both the local Conservatives and Lib Dems are complacent and have failed to make the most of our outstanding local resources to promote the borough either economically or as a great place to live. Residents deserve so much more, and restoring a Labour voice to the council would bring in new thinking, challenge existing cronyism and ensure a fresh commitment to support all who live here.
