David Rupert Battersby
Green Party candidate for Faraday
I was born and raised in South London and now live on the Brandon estate in Southwark. My day job is in careers and skills development, and I volunteer as a teaching assistant. I see the anxiety our children and young people have about the future, and in Southwark we have a real chance to give the next generation a borough with cleaner air, better opportunities, and secure, affordable housing.
