Bunmi Wajero
Liberal Democrats candidate for Ladywell
Bunmi lives in Brockley and has lived in Lewisham for many years, her children have grown up here. Her passion is to be a voice for the people of the community, especially members who are often overlooked, to be able to serve and support people, to empower local residents. Bunmi says: "I’m standing in Catford South as I believe that it’s time for a change. The one-party Labour council has become complacent: it’s time for new voices to represent this ward and bring about progressive change.
