We’re delighted that our incredible candidate Nancy Jirira has been elected to serve the residents of Fortune Green and to carry on the amazing legacy of Flick Rea.

As we come to the end of this election campaign, I’m reflecting on the conversations I’ve had with many of you over the past few weeks.

I’ve heard from many for whom the last year has been so challenging – whether they had Covid as I did, or lost family or friends, or found themselves out of a job.

The last year has made me appreciate the value of the community here in Fortune Green, where I’ve lived for over 30 years, more than ever.

Local residents are backing Nancy’s campaign to get the Labour Council to listen and take the bin bags off the streets of Fortune Green.

The O2 Centre redevelopment is set to have a major impact on our community, with thousands of new homes proposed.

Liberal Democrat campaigner Nancy Jirira has set out a three point plan on what we need to see from the development.

Introducing Nancy

Local resident Nancy Jirira has been chosen to be the Liberal Democrats to sand in the by-election on 22nd July, following the retirement of long-standing Liberal Democrat Councillor Flick Rea.

This isn’t an election about who runs Camden Council. It is about who you trust to represent you and your community. Fortune Green needs another local champion, someone who knows and cares about our area, not another Labour Councillor who will toe the Town Hall line.

After Flick Rea stepped down from Camden Council last week, after a 35 year career, tributes have been pouring in from residents and people from other political parties. One thing is absolutely clear: Flick is loved by so many of us in Camden.

In a letter to residents of Fortune Green ward she said, “I have been privileged to represent Fortune Green as a Liberal Democrat Councillor for 35 years, but age and recent poor health have caught up with me and it is time to hand over the role of fighting to make sure that this special corner of Camden isn’t forgotten by the powers that be at the Town Hall.”
