Ashley Dickenson is the Christian Peoples Alliance Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Carshalton and Wallington. We spoke with Ashley about his decision to stand.
Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
Ashley Dickenson who has lived in the London Borough of Sutton since 1984 and Carshalton since 1992. I have worked in administrative support roles. I am very committed to pro-life issues, and I advocate for Christian values in our schools. I have recently been campaigning for pedestrian crossings for a venue near me as well as for school buses to reduce school-run traffic.
What made you decide to stand for the CPA?
I believe that not just this constituency, but this nation needs a return to Judaeo-Christian values that were the yardstick for discerning between good and evil, values that everyone at one time knew and respected, even if not perfectly upheld. Politicians from the other parties have tried to solve this nation’s problems through secular laws with the best of intentions but this hasn’t necessarily worked out for this nation’s best.
You’re the Spokesman for Carshalton and Wallington what’s made you decide to represent this area?
- I’ve lived in this area since August 1992 and decided to take up:
- the need for pedestrian lights at the crossroads of the Windsor Castle public house;
- a pedestrian crossing to the Greyhound near Carshalton;
- leafletting against the Relationships & Sex Education (RSE) in our primary schools.
- I have also written to schools & libraries expressing concerns about drag queens being allowed to read to impressionable young children;
- a while back I contacted several schools in my area to express concern about Ha’laal meat being served to their pupils owing to animal welfare issues.
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
- St Helier Hospital
- Relationships & Sex Education in our schools
- Traffic: I have submitted to two schools in my area petitions promoting school buses to offset – if not completely eliminate – ‘school-run traffic’. Especially where this has caused ‘snarl-ups’ at best and drivers speeding at worse, at over 20mph on 20 mph roads.
For those eager to help, how can they get involved in the campaign?
