Broad Green has been taken for granted by Labour for too long now and it's about time that it received strong representation from people who are in touch with the local residents.

The Broad Green Ward Committee has been working hard to ensure a fairer deal for Broad Green and its residents.

Fabion Emmanuel

Chairman

Fabion Emmanuel, 44, is a Croydon businessman with a strong background in retail management.

Fabion lives in the Broad Green area and plays an active role within the local community, particularly with the Broad Green Community Association, Broad Green Safer Neighbourhoods Team Panel and as General Secretary of Croydon Tamil Community Association.

Fabion is passionate about Broad Green and wants to see the Council do more to reverse the years of neglect which have damaged the reputation of the area.  He believes that by listening to local residents and providing them with a strong voice, their concerns will finally be recognised and addressed.

Lance Alleyne

Secretary

Lance is a 20 year-old student doctor who has lived in and around the Croydon area all his life.

Lance is a strong believer in his local community and wants a proud sense of civic pride to be restored all across Croydon.  A former volunteer for a local community support organisation, Lance recognises the value that community groups can contribute to an area and believes that they should receive more support from local government.

Lance believes that Croydon Council should have strong and robust policies on crime and healthcare, which are two subjects at the forefront of most Broad Green residents' minds.  He also volunteers once a week as a police officer for the British Transport Police, enabling him to see first-hand the effect that Neighbourhood Policing has on an area.

Sarah Davis

Vice Chair

Sarah is a 24 year-old Croydon resident. She is part Danish and works for a trade association.

Sarah grew up in Croydon and went to local state schools before studying in London and Denmark. She is a great believer in the power of local communities coming together and taking an active role in their future. She believes in devolving as much power as possible down to the local level where the best decisions for an area can be made.

Sarah's priorities for Broad Green are crime and regeneration. Crime and anti-social behaviour have a huge impact on the whole community and it is vital to bring everyone together to tackle the problem, from local residents and police to businesses, including our vibrant community of small traders. Part of addressing this problem is looking at what can be do to regenerate our communities and give residents a feeling of pride and ownership of their local area.
