Hillside ward Liberal Democrats
Cllr Susie Hicks
Susie is a former barrister and solicitor, who has lived in Wimbledon for over 20 years, 11 of those in Hillside. She has a 21 year old daughter at university, and she has been involved in court battles, difficult negotiations and many committees. She wants to improve the lives of everyone who lives or works in Hillside wherever possible. She has been working towards improving the basic issues that affect local residents, ending the overflowing bins, reducing air pollution and speeding near local schools and on busy roads, supporting local businesses and residents by making parking charges fairer and less expensive, and increasing the amount of electric charging available for people who want to move to electric cars but don’t have off street parking. She has been supporting local Lib Dem campaigns to get step free access installed at Raynes Park station, and prevent intrusive overly tall or otherwise inappropriate developments in the area. She wants to see the council ensuring that all subcontractors observe high standards of fairness in their recruitment policies and treatment of staff. Susie would pursue a cleaner, greener, fairer Hillside for everyone.
Susie was elected as a councillor for Hillside on May 5th 2022.
