Anna Lawton
Labour candidate for South Tottenham
As a councillor I’ve worked tirelessly to represent residents, playing my part to improve our borough. I’ve supported residents to set up their first residents association, campaigned successfully for local park funding, organised ward wide weeks of action, increased street cleaning, co-ordinated police meetings to crack down on local ASB; and so much more. In the last few years I’ve taken on a varied number of roles, including charity trustee, chair of the maternity and neonatal voice partnership at the Whittington, and being elected chair of our Children and Young People scrutiny panel.
