Neil Garratt

Croydon & Sutton GLA Member

Neil is Croydon & Sutton's GLA Member. He is also a Conservative Councillor for Belmont.

Neil grew up on a council estate in the midlands before moving to Sutton nearly 20 years ago. His dad drove buses and lorries, and his grandad was a coal miner. He believes passionately in working hard for our community - something he already does as a senior front bench Councillor in Sutton.

Neil has earned a reputation locally as a diligent community activist, using his background in IT, global data networks, and project management to focus on the detail that really impacts the lives of local residents - without losing sight of the bigger picture.
