PAMELA FITZPATRICK INDEPENDENT  PROSPECTIVE PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATE HARROW WEST









Sign up here to find out when we launch:





My name is Pamela Fitzpatrick and I am standing as an independent candidate to
be the MP for Harrow West in the next General Election. I am a local candidate
truly rooted in the community.

I live and work in Harrow West and I have raised my family here. I am the
Director of a local charity, which I set up in 2010, which provides free legal
advice and representation to people in Harrow. Over the past 14 years this
centre has helped thousands of local people avoid being evicted from their home,
secured the benefits they are entitled to, challenge issues such as punitive
public spaces protection orders and assist in immigration matters such as women
who have been trafficked.



I have been a Chair of Governors of a local school, an elected councillor and I
am a trustee of a local charity which works with young people.

I am incredibly proud of our community, however, through my work I am acutely
aware of the issues we face in Harrow. I have seen how our local services are
struggling to cope in the face of devastating cuts and increased demand, how
residents wait ever longer to see a GP and how those children with special needs
are denied the support they need to thrive at school. We have a housing crisis
in Harrow. We have the lowest level of social housing of any London Borough
therefore those on modest incomes are forced into the private rented sector.
This often means families are living in cramped conditions in properties with
severe disrepair yet are paying extortionate rents. Even those with higher
incomes are simply unable to afford to buy a home due to the high cost of
property in Harrow. Yet the response by successive Governments and councils
alike is to allow for a massive increase in luxury tower blocks which most local
people cannot afford to live in and which are used as capital investments rather
than for the community.

Harrow is one of the most diverse boroughs in the UK. Conflicts and war in other
countries do impact on local people yet our politicians all too often fail to
understand this. Nothing has highlighted this more than the current situation in
Gaza. The level of destruction and death has led to an unprecedented level of
local people demanding an end to the violence and calling on our politicians to
support a ceasefire. I am a member of Brent and Harrow Palestine Solidarity
Campaign and regularly attend both national and local ceasefire marches. I am
also a non executive Director of the Peace and Justice Project established by
Jeremy Corbyn which brings people together for social and economic justice,
peace and human rights in Britain and across the world.
