I’m particularly proud of my 12 years as a councillor for Peckham and the improvements made to the local environment through clever planting, the use of empty shopfronts for start-up businesses and the improvement in the local crime figures during my term of office. My vote also tripled so that wasn’t a bad outcome either.
