Johnathan Ian Gifford Knight

“John Knight is 31 and originally from Devon. He has a degree in archaeology and has worked in forestry, teaching, and is now working for a local bathrooms company. After living abroad for several years he moved to London and has lived in Mitcham for the last 5 years.”

“Since joining the Green Party he has been an active campaigner and canvasser for the party, which has given him the opportunity to meet a wide array of people from across the borough, to hear people’s stories and concerns, and to gain a clear picture of the ways they feel their local council could be doing more for them.”

“He is a member of Merton against racism, and is dedicated to combating the current council's complacent attitude to the rise of far right activity in the borough.”

“John is passionate about environmentalism, fighting climate change, and economic fairness and believes these issues are not only important at a national level but also that it is important to begin tackling these issues by doing what we can at a local and community level. Outside of politics he is something of a green party cliche, being an avid cyclist, and enjoyer of woodworking and nature.”
