Alan Thomas, Liberal Democrat candidate for Wanstead Park

Thomas-LibDem

I am a long-term resident of Wanstead. I worked in property management and am now an active campaigner on local issues. Like many local residents, I am concerned about the long-delayed rebuilding of Whipps Cross, which the Labour government has further delayed to 2036. If elected, I will press for the Labour-dominated council to use its right to engage more in NHS issues, including the lack of GP appointments in this part of the borough, which tends to be overlooked because of a focus on Ilford.

Promoted by Crispin Acton on behalf of Redbridge Liberal Democrats, all at 45 Wellington Road, London, E11 2AS.

Simon Miller, Labour Party candidate for Wanstead Park

Miller-Labour

I live in Snaresbrook and care deeply about the local area. I’m currently a senior director at the UK’s fraud prevention service, tackling fraud and corruption. I also worked in a number of government departments and as head of policy on the Leveson Inquiry into phone hacking. I have previously served as a councillor in Waltham Forest and led on economic growth and housing development until May 2022. I will fight to ensure Wanstead Park gets its fair share of investment. That’s why I need your support on 7 May.

Emma Shepherd-Mallinson, Labour Party candidate for Wanstead Park

Shepherd-Mallinson-Labour

I live in Wanstead Park and my children attend local schools. Since becoming your local councillor, I’ve focused on being approachable and responsive to residents. I’ve worked closely with the local police team in Wanstead Park to tackle anti-social behaviour. I’ve also been working to improve traffic and road safety, particularly around the primary school. Additionally, I’m passionate about protecting the River Roding and protecting our local environment. Only Labour has a fully costed plan; don’t risk your community.
