I’m standing to be your next Conservative Party Councillor for
Streatham St Leonard’s.

Full statement

I believe in value for money, but Labour in Lambeth has failed
residents: higher council tax with little improvement in services,
poor police communication, and a neighbourhood left behind on
investment, cleanliness, and basic standards, with Serco not de-
livering for St Leonard’s.

We are paying more and getting less: fortnightly bin collections,
rising fly-tipping, anti-social behaviour on Streatham Green and
the High Road, and no meaningful improvement.

I’ve lived in Streatham for over a decade, work locally, serve in
the Reserve Maritime Force, and referee football across London.
I care deeply about this area and am standing because I want to
act, not stand by.

Kind regards,
Chris Cousins
