Thomas Hugh MacInnes
Green Party candidate for Cathall
**About Tom MacInnes** I’ve lived in the borough for 5 years, having moved around all over London and finally found somewhere to call home. I live with my partner and two small children. I work for a charity, and have a long standing passion for social justice and environmental issues. **What Tom stands for** I want my children to grow up in a happier, greener, fairer borough. I am really energised by the great ideas and passion for change you find in the borough, and want to work with that energy. Incredible things can happen when people work together!
