David Watson

David first moved to the borough in 2006 and has worked locally in SE1 since 2015. He believes passionately that we have an opportunity to re-shape Southwark for the better after the pandemic. That includes protecting and increasing space for parks and trees, building more affordable housing, and putting local residents at the heart of the Council’s decision-making. David has worked in the public and charitable sectors on policy development, partnerships and negotiations. He is currently director of communications at a global affairs think tank and a trustee for a charity combating bullying in schools.
