Your Belmont Liberal Democrat team
Chandra, Joseph and Rashi
Chandra, Joseph and Rashi are the local Lib Dem team fighting for all of us in Belmont.
Like most of us, they are sick and tired of being represented by Conservative councillors who just talk our area down and have no plan for the future. They have decided to step up for the community and run for election themselves - making sure this area has hardworking local champions fighting for it in the Council chamber.
They back the hard work the local Lib Dem council and Luke Taylor MP have been doing to secure new investment in our high streets, keep our borough one of the safest places to live in the country and make sure that help is available to families struggling with the cost of living crisis.
Unlike the Conservative councillors Chandra, Joseph and Rashi are already out and about in our community, knocking on doors and fixing local issues. Together, they will fight for Belmont’s future, making sure that nobody is left behind and that local residents and groups are involved in decision making.
Rashi is raising her children in our area and knows firsthand the challenges of the cost of living crisis facing local people.
As a champion for local families, she will back strong action to make sure support is available to those who need it - and also that opportunities are there for adults to reskill later in life, which is why she has run the coding club at Sutton library.
In her professional life she worked as a digital champion for a major company and has worked at the Home Office.
Joseph has worked for a major supermarket for over ten years in product development and sourcing, meaning he has a strong understanding of what it takes to keep our local economy strong and resilient.
He backs the work Sutton Council has been doing to support local businesses to thrive, including efforts to make sure all our high streets are full of great local businesses.
In his spare time Joseph has volunteered at Warren Farm just over the road in Ewell, complimenting his passion for protecting our environment and keeping people healthy with locally sourced, sustainable food.
Chandra is an IT professional and local parent who is passionate about fighting for the best for Belmont.
He is a Street Coordinator for the Belmont and South Cheam Residents’ Association, an active member of Nonsuch School’s PTA (a role in which he helped to raise over £10,000 for the school), sits on the Belmont Neighbourhood Watch, leads safety awareness campaigns focused on car theft and burglary prevention, and is a member of the Royal British Legion.
He does all of this because he believes strong community groups, in which local people help each other, builds trust and understanding, protect our sense of belonging, and ensure local issues are identified and dealt with early.
