A qualified librarian, Alexa runs the information service at the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the City of London.
She represented Bromley Common & Keston Ward between 1994 and 2022. Since 2022, Alexa has represented Hayes & Coney Hall. She is well known locally and has a reputation for getting things done.
Her main interests are planning, the environment and policing. She strongly believes that Green Belt and other designated land must be protected from built development and that local planning authorities should have more power to resist building on unsuitable sites. She wants all residents to be able to live in a clean, safe environment with visible police patrols.
As a daily commuter into central London, Alexa believes that reliable, clean and safe public transport is essential, both for the benefit of individuals and the wider economy.

When time allows, Alexa participates in classes in the Borough’s excellent Mytime Active sports centres. She enjoys history and is a member of the Royal Society of St George, a non-political society for all people who share a love of England and all things English. Alexa also enjoys team quizzes and is very competitive!
