Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown

Endri and Alasdair are working hard in Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown, listening to local residents and acting on their concerns. Casework varies from tackling poor planning applications and construction practices, securing protected status for our local green spaces, ensuring waste collections take place, traffic is kept moving and our children and young people are cared for.

If you would like any help or advice, please contact Endri and Alasdair directly so that they can discuss your casework by phone, Zoom call or, if safe to do so, in a public space.
