Thomas is a committed campaigner and in the past has campaigned to save local banks from closure, for improved road safety and for additional bus capacity on busy routes – including securing a whole new bus route. Having attended a school which failed OFSTED Thomas is passionate about ensuring all children in Bromley have the best start in life and celebrates Conservative-run Bromley Councils success at getting 97% of local schools rated either good or outstanding by OFSTED.
