Ben Mascall
Conservative candidate for Ladywell
Conservative
Peckham is an amazing place, full of energy and entrepreneurial spirit. There is so much to be proud of but so much more potential too - and I want to help harness that. A vote for me on July 4 is a vote for backing our incredible local businesses, a vote for fighting for better transport links, a vote for campaigning for safer streets, and – as the foundation for all of that - a vote for a strong economy that protects household budgets by keeping inflation and taxes low.
