Councillor Candidate
Neil Robert Garratt

Neil Robert Garratt

Conservative candidate for Belmont

Conservative

I grew up on a council estate in the midlands before moving to Sutton nearly 20 years ago. My dad drove buses and lorries, my grandad was a coal miner. I believe passionately in working hard for our community - something I already do as a senior front bench Councillor in Sutton. I’ve earned a reputation locally as a diligent community activist, using my background in IT, global data networks, and project management to focus on the detail that really impacts the lives of local residents - without losing sight of the bigger picture.
