In Ruth's own words

Ruth cares deeply about the everyday issues people face – from dangerous traffic near schools to fly-tipping and housing concerns.

She’s standing to fight for strong local services, safer streets, and practical climate action that benefits New Cross Gate now and in the future.

“I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live well, and councils can help to make that happen.”
