Labour candidate for Blendon & Penhill

Labour

Elections offer choice, but on Thursday 7th May 2026, Bexley has an opportunity to change the direction of our borough for a better future with investment and stop the managed decline of public services in Bexley. This year’s election is the opportunity to look to the future and build better housing for everyone, including good quality homes to buy, more family homes, genuinely affordable housing and council housing for the first time in a generation, so future generations can afford to live in Bexley and invest in a better future with new fresh ideas, not out of date and tired ideas that have not worked for years and cannot work in the future. Bexley Labour has a plan to deal with the challenges this borough faces. We will work constructively with the Labour Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and the Labour Government to deliver better public services and more housing for everyone.
