Leader of the Conservative group on Greenwich Council, Councillor Spencer Drury, will be standing on behalf of the Tories.

Local Lib Dems have selected 26 year old estate agent, Joseph Lee, as their candidate. Andy Hewett will be the Green Party’s candidate.

Onay Kasab is standing for the Trade Union & Socialist Coalition (TUSC) and Raden Wresniwiro will represent the English Democrats.
