The pre-local election event, hosted by the Crystal Palace Chamber of Commerce, will be one of the largest gatherings of multi-borough local politicians assembled in Crystal Palace in recent times. It will be chaired by Jonathan Croucher a former City law firm partner and current vicar of Christchurch Gipsy Hill.

Four of Crystal Palace’s five boroughs will be represented on the panel with members from four parties. Gibson added: “Obviously the logistics of hosting a Crystal Palace-wide local event are not straight forward with a potential of five boroughs, and a myriad of wards and parties. That said we are really pleased to have assembled a such formidable panel of committed local politicians and candidates. We also expect councillors and candidates of other parties to be in the audience and they will be able to participate in the debate from the floor.”

The panel will consist of the following: -

Helen Hayes Southwark Labour councillor for College ward and Labour party candidate for Tessa Jowell MP’s seat of Dulwich and West Norwood;

Pat Ryan Croydon Labour Councillor for Upper Norwood ward, Croydon Council Labour Group Chief Whip, trade unionist (CWU);

Tom Papworth Bromley Lib Dem councillor for Crystal Palace ward and Group Leader of Bromley Liberal Democrats;

Steve O’Connell Conservative Councillor for Kenley ward, Croydon Cabinet Member for Finance and Performance Management, GLA Member for Croydon and Sutton. He is Deputy Chair of the Planning Committee;

Tom Chance Bromley Green Party candidate for Crystal Palace works for GLA Member And Chair of the London Assembly Darren Johnson;

Matthew Bennett Lambeth Labour councillor for Gipsy Hill ward and Labour Chief whip and Lambeth Council and works for former Lambeth Leader and Croydon North MP Steve Reed;

Graham Pycock Lambeth Conservative candidate for Thurlow also appearing on behalf of Southwark Conservatives has formerly served as a Lambeth councillor for a period of 12 years;

Angela Wilkins Bromley Labour candidate for Crystal Palace ward and Director at Good Governance Foundation;

The debate will begin at 7pm on 7 May in the Balmoral Suite of the Queens Hotel on Church Road. It is open to all local residents and traders of Crystal Palace.

Shame no one from Lewisham on the panel, but with 8 local politicians and candidates on the panel it is still one of the largest cross-border events for the Crystal Palace area.

Wednesday, May 7th, at 7pm. The Queens Hotel, 122 Church Rd, London, SE19 2UG
