Vassall Ward By-Election
Following the sad death of Labour councillor and former Mayor
of Lambeth, Liz Atkinson, Vassall Conservatives have chosen local
campaigner Stuart Barr to fight the forthcoming by-election. Stuart and his wife have lived and
worked in Vassall for 7 years, and their daughter goes to primary school
there.
Stuart works as a singing coach and conductor for TV and
theatre. For the BBC, he judges on the Young Musician of the Year, Choir of the Year and the Fame
Academy Musical Theatre Bursary Scheme. He also teaches singing
privately.
Very active in the community, Stuart is Vice-Chair of
Governors at Wyvil Primary School. He is also passionate about music in
education and last year co-ordinated Sing
For Freedom, the charity concert and educational project that
celebrated the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade,
involving 130 children from 4 local schools, and raising £2200 for the
Mayor's nominated charity, Anti-Slavery
International.
He is a keen cyclist, and lobbies for better cycling provision
in Lambeth. The son of a policeman, he also cares greatly about the
safety of our neighbourhoods.
