Edward Lewis-Smith
Labour candidate for Hermitage & Gardens
Living close by on the Harringay Ladder, I know the key local issues - from housing problems, crime and flytipping, to green spaces and transport. Our Haringey Labour Council is tackling these issues and more, putting democratic socialism into action - building over a 1000 council homes, investing in our parks, transforming Haringey Children’s Services, and cutting crime with new neighbourhood patrols. I work in clean energy research and I’m a governor at a local secondary school. I know how to prioritise when resources are tight - but I will always be ambitious for our part of Haringey borough. I’d be honoured to have your vote.
