Alasdair Stewart

Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown
Deputy Cabinet Member for Finance

Alasdair has lived in Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown since 2016. In the past, he has run his own business, and worked in the public and private sectors. For the last decade, he has held senior roles in national and local charities, including here in Croydon. Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown residents will know that they have been getting fewer and fewer services from Croydon Council despite paying more and more in council tax – his priorities are ensuring local issues are dealt with quickly and that residents’ priorities are given due attention, in stark contrast to how they have been treated by the failing Labour Council.
