Nigel Rumble stands for Hampstead Town
Many of you may have seen and engaged with me in Hampstead Town and on the Heath when shooting my film “Smiley’s People in Hampstead" in the past year.
The film is about the past BBC locations scooted for the iconic story by John Le Carré which went on to became the definitive ‘Spy’ story. My short however, is a homage to the scooted locations and captures the history and seemingly non-changing nature of Hampstead. This stature and preservation of historic legacy of Hampstead and its architecture is one of the many features that I wish to celebrate and wish to help preserve as your next councillor for Hampstead Town on 7th May.
Please join with me on my venture and support me to become the first ever Independent councillor in Hampstead Town NW3 and indeed Camden, representing the area where I was born and raised and is my family home for more than 45 years with four generations of my family living locally back to the Edwardian era.
Being a local I know just how special Hampstead and the Heath is and it needs care and nurturing more than ever now with a very disconnected Camden council making sweeping changes on planning permissions, proposed cuts to bin collections. As your prospective councillor I naturally would question and fight where needed the cause for the people on proposed plans to build a Hotel at 6 Streatley Place, anti-social basement excavations blighting Hampstead homes and expansions of Tesco to name just a few. My family have been enjoying the heath through four generations and the very controversial and shambolic plan over the dam works is just another case I would fight if elected as your local councillor for Hampstead Town.
Hampstead is special and I want to keep it that way, I am not a professional politician but am a local campaigner who will always put the people first in what ever I do.
Since resigning my position on the Executive of Camden Conservatives back in 2012 to become an Independent. I have respect for the two Tory sitting councillors already elected last year and would find it easy to work with them as your Independent voice of reason, freed from party politics.
