Demetrius Williams

As a Leyton ward resident and a local campaigner, I’ve worked with a number of local community groups that amplify underrepresented voices in the borough. This includes Waltham Forest for a Free Palestine, which successfully campaigned to get LBWF to divest its pensions from companies complicit or linked to war crimes. My priorities include: Housing and Green Spaces Push for genuinely affordable, high-quality homes that meet environmental standards and hold private developers to account. Protect our green spaces and preserve their biodiversity and community life. Health and Social Care Promote accessible, quality healthcare (especially for vulnerable residents) and strengthen local social care support. Safer, Cleaner Streets Tackle pollution, improve safety and keep our streets and public spaces clean, inclusive and well-maintained. Fair Local Economy Back small businesses and community groups that ensure support reaches those who need it most. Community Solidarity and Ethics Stand up for fairness, equality and environmental justice to ensure our borough acts with compassion. I’ll put our community first. I’ll challenge complacency and lead with the energy, compassion and empathy needed to serve St James.
