"I've lived in Morden all my life. I'm proud to have served as a Ravensbury councillor since 1986. I'm a local school governor, and I know how vital it is for Morden families to have good schools to rely on. The reorganisation of Merton's schools has been a success, and I want to continue the drive to raise standards further. It's also crucial that we provide our youngsters with activities to occupy them outside school."

"I've lived in the borough for over 20 years and raised 4 children. I've served as a councillor for 16 years. I've worked for national charities, but never lost sight of the importance of working for this community. I know how vital good schools and good public transport are. I want to see more done about nuisance neighbours in Morden, and I want to get more done to remove the graffiti and abandoned cars that are plaguing this area."
