Lewisham Labour has selected Jack Lavery as its candidate for Sydenham in the upcoming by-election in May.

Councillor Tom Copley stepped down earlier this year after becoming Deputy Mayor for Housing.

Mr Lavery, an economics teacher and school governor, said he hopes to use his experience as an educator and of living in Lewisham’s private rented sector if elected.

“I am looking forward to working hard on behalf of everyone living in Sydenham.

“Lewisham Council is doing a huge amount of work in improving education attainment and opportunities.

“If elected, I hope I can bring my experience as a teacher and school governor into the role.

“I also want to advocate for the thousands who are living in the private rented sector, like myself, and help deliver more council housing across the borough.

“Sydenham has such a wonderful sense of community and I am eager, as soon as it is safe, to get on the doorstep, speak with local residents and earn their trust,” he said.

Hello everyone. Jack Lavery here.
Since I was selected as the LP candidate it’s been a pleasure to talk to Sydenham residents– albeit only over the phone at the moment.
If we haven’t had a chance to talk, please do get in touch via Twitter @jack_lavery or via Facebook Jack Lavery - Labour candidate for Sydenham - Home | Facebook. Feel free to suggest a time to talk on the phone.
