Stuart was born in Wandsworth on December 27th, 1970. His father Tom was a local dustman while his mum, Pat, worked in Boots in the Arndale for over 20 years.

Stuart and his sister Vicki went to Allfarthing Primary School in Wandsworth: the same school their mother attended and where Stuart is now a Governor.

Stuart joined the Labour Party in 1987 and after holding several party positions was in 1998 selected as a council candidate for Tooting ward, which includes St George's Hospital.

The environment has always been Stuart's political passion and he was immediately appointed Labour's Speaker on this portfolio,which includes the state of the borough's streets, recycling and parks.

Jim is the vicar of Holy Trinity church in Roehampton. He chairs the Roehampton Partnership: the body that brings together residents, businesses and the voluntary sector to tackle the big issues affecting the area.

Jim says: "I'm standing to bring a duty of care to Wandsworth Council, which I believe is sorely lacking. Too many West Hill estates are run-down, fly-tipped and neglected - and the Tories simply don't care about making them better. Labour does."
