I’m Keiron Titus, standing for councillor in Shinfield.

Full statement

I grew up in Wokingham, went away to university in Southampton and work in London 8, and then moved back a couple of years ago – this time to give my daughter the same thing I had: a community with real opportunity and a wide range of local experiences.

I work in marketing, and on weekends I volunteer as a qualified boxing coach (England Boxing) teaching children and young people. Through sport, I get to help young people build self-confidence, discipline, and a healthy attitude to fitness. I strongly believe in the value of positive role models that come not just from within the immediate family, but from the wider community too. It genuinely takes a village.

I’m standing because I believe the traditional big political parties have failed working people. Local services and good decision-making have been left behind. If elected, I’ll focus on community building, youth development, and safer, greener spaces in Shinfield, working with residents to make sure our area is somewhere families can thrive.

I’d be honoured to earn your support. Let’s keep Shinfield welcoming, supportive, and a great place for young people to grow up.
