Nicholas James Oatridge
Labour candidate for Kingston Gate
I live and work in the Kingston Gate ward, running a business which ensures Artificial Intelligence in healthcare applications is used safely and responsibly. I love this neighbourhood and contribute to it in many ways, for example as an administrator in the North Kingston WhatsApp Support Group and as a participant in other local groups. We live in a beautiful and culturally rich part of London, and are fortunate to have benefitted from Mayor Khan's leadership, our diverse communities and our enterprising residents to ensure London remains the best major city in the world.
