CTPH Deep Rooted in Camden and D-32 Evening update

To all the residents that I met today, thank you so very much. The warmth given to me is simply amazing. I know Camden has always been my home for over 50 years and now I can feel that my family roots are so deep here. They say trust is earned and I know why because I have worked hard to earn that trust.

My late mother was the longest serving member of Camden Libraries and worked over 40 years rooted in Camden and based in Kentish town Library, a part of that legacy remains with me.

My late Father and his surviving twin Brother, my Uncle were both D-Day WWII veterans and several generations of my family are also rooted in Camden. The spirit of the Rumble family is so deep in Camden.

For I am a true Camden local and always will be. NW1 has so much variety, which is what makes this unique ward so special.

Picked up some pretty serious and compelling case work today. One I will be addressing to Frank Dobson MP due to its potential wide ranging impact the other direct to the next Housing and Adult Social care scrutiny committee where I have been an co-opted member for two years.

So a very special thanks for those folks taking time to discuss such far ranging issues.

I have been serving you already in Camden now for more than a decade and hope to do so as your next councillor.
