Lucy Knight

Lucy Knight

Lucy grew up in Kensington and Chelsea with her family and has lived in Notting Hill for the last 4 years. She studied International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies at Exeter. She now works as a political consultant and has previously worked on a number of international campaigns since helping support the Clinton Campaign in the 2016 US elections. 

Lucy enjoys giving back to the community through a number of local charities, including having been a Community Mentor for the Octavia Foundation in North Kensington. Most recently she has focussed her efforts in mentoring Afghan refugees arriving into the UK following the Kabul evacuation in 2021.

Lucy cares passionately about getting young people more involved in politics and their communities, and about mental health, particularly of young people with the impact that the pandemic has had on opportunities for employment and education. She has a keen interest in the environment, and is committed to enhancing our parks, improving our air quality, and ensuring RBKC remains one of the greenest boroughs in the country.

Standing up for Your Priorities in Holland

Improving our air quality and parks

We will make Holland ward greener - by investing in Holland Park; by protecting mature trees on Holland Park Avenue; by holding Thames Water to account to reduce flooding impacts; and by dramatically increasing the number of electric vehicle charging points.
 

Tackling anti-social behaviour

We will make Holland ward safer - by funding a named community warden for our neighbourhood; by placing CCTV cameras on Russell Road; by installing new acoustic cameras on Holland Road; and by delivering traffic-calming for Holland Park and Oakwood Court.
 

Value for money and opportunities for all

We will make Holland Ward fairer - by keeping Council Tax in London’s bottom quartile; by continuing to invest more in schools and youth services than almost anywhere in London; and by promoting safe, secure and affordable housing for residents.
