Rebecca Jones
Green Party candidate for Blackheath
I'm a Lewisham GP and resident of Blackheath. I feel proud to be a resident of the borough of Lewisham and to be bringing up my children here. As a GP, I have a deep understanding of our community and its needs, as well as the inequalities that plague it. I want to use this understanding and the skills acquired as a doctor to represent my neighbours. I'm passionate about social and environmental justice, and I’m in awe of the way that Lewisham residents have fought for justice, historically and now. I would be proud to be part of this.
