Clare Elizabeth Donachie
Liberal Democrats candidate for Rye Lane
I joined the Liberal Democrats because of their strong Remain position. I have spent ten years working as a fundraiser and campaigner in international development. I am passionate about the environment. In 20 years living here, I have seen many changes. I believe that, whilst vibrancy continues to develop, the existing community’s needs must be met, particularly housing. I am troubled that the Labour run Council is cosying up to developers instead of securing homes people can afford. I want a London we can be proud of - from pavements to green spaces. I want a Liberal London.
