As an Emerson Park resident, I understand local issues. I went to Campion School and have lived in Havering for over 50 years. I want to use the skills I've gained as the Global Chief Investment Officer for HSBC Asset Management's Private Debt Business to help improve the Council's finances, investments and housing strategy. I oppose overdevelopment in residential areas such as Emerson Park, and will fight to protect our green spaces and local amenities. With my experience of regularly meeting Cabinet Ministers, I will be a strong champion for Emerson Park. I have also worked with Julia Lopez MP and led the campaign to stop Emerson Park from being moved to Romford.
