What a privilege it is to represent such a place. But small margins are never far from the surface. Too many households in our community struggle to get by, their ability to cope resting on the finest of margins, just one pay cheque away from catastrophe. More than a third of children in Hendon are growing up poor after housing costs. In places like Colindale and Burnt Oak, the figure is significantly higher. That must change. Tackling this unfairness and disadvantage is what motivates me to be here. It is why I am determined to use my experience from many years working in business and from my time in Government at the Treasury, the Home Office and the Prime Minister’s strategy unit, to bring change and deliver for the people of Hendon.
