In Nigel's own words

South Wimbledon has been my home for more than two decades. I have lived here since 2003, served as an Abbey Ward councillor from 2018 to 2022, and have continued helping residents ever since.

People know me as someone who does not disappear when the election is over. Whether the issue is housing, planning, regeneration, road safety, street cleanliness or simply getting a straight answer from the right body, I believe local residents deserve persistence, honesty and follow-through.

Professionally, I work in data science and financial risk modelling. In practice, that means I bring a detailed, evidence-based approach to public life: I look closely, ask difficult questions, and keep going until things are properly explained.

I was born with hearing loss and mild cerebral palsy, so I know how important it is that services work for everyone, not just for those who shout the loudest.

I care deeply about Abbey because I live here, know it well, and have spent years working on the issues that matter to local people.
