Claire Elizabeth Bonham

Liberal Democrats candidate for Crystal Palace & Upper Norwood

Active on State

Liberal Democrats

I was delighted to be elected as the Liberal Democrat Councillor for Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood in 2022. Since then I have worked hard to represent my residents, completing over 600 pieces of casework and campaigning on reversing bus cuts, improving parks and opposing the 33% rise in council tax since 2022. Outside of politics I am the Chief Executive of Sculpt, a london-based youth charity and have over 25 years experience in the charity sector supporting young people, those affected by poverty and homelessness and victims of crime.
