I’m Peter, and I am Southwark born and bred. I work as a community development officer for a small charity based in Bermondsey. I’m husband to Winnie and we have three “adorable” children.
Having grown up in the borough, through my work in a local charity and role as governor at a Southwark primary school I see the impact of decisions made by the government and local council to the vulnerable, young and old.
I have witnessed the positive development in Southwark, but more sustainable and equitable approaches are required in matters which impact our communities such as housing, employment, education, recreation and the environment.
