Green Party candidate for South Richmond

Active on State

Green Party

Paddy Griffith — Green Party Candidate, South Richmond Ward I'm a local resident, entrepreneur, and community advocate standing for South Richmond ward because I believe Richmond deserves better when it comes to safeguarding our environment, renewing our town centre, and protecting our services. I live in South West London with my wife Clare and three children. I've built businesses, created jobs, and spent years working on the kind of innovation and problem-solving that our local council so badly needs. I'm standing on a platform of real democratic accountability, genuine community consultation, and urgent action on the things that matter most to South Richmond residents — affordable housing, protecting our green spaces, and investing in early intervention for young people and families. Richmond has its first Green councillor in Chas Warlow. Now it's time to build on that foundation and give South Richmond the bold, honest representation it deserves.
