Pat Dobson

I have lived in the borough of Kingston since 1974 and in New Malden for over 30 years. Since my retirement from primary school teaching in 2016 I have been active in the local community with Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness, the RHS and currently with a local children’s nursery. In 2018 I became one of the directors at Kingston Environment Centre, where I am the community gardening lead, membership secretary and collaborate on fundraising. I joined the Labour Party in 2015 and am currently one of the secretaries, so I am very much the public face of our local party as far as our members are concerned. I think New Malden is a great place to live with a huge amount of community involvement, but these efforts are being failed by the Lib Dems. I would be an effective, accessible Labour councillor who would hold regular surgeries for New Malden residents.
