With local elections here in Croydon in May, we speak with Christine Bigrigg, Reform UK candidate for Broad Green.
“we now have situation where the Borough has been bankrupted leaving the town’s services poorly run with shops closing down and crime moving in”
Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?
I was born in Croydon and lived in a prefab in New Addington after the last War and watched it grow and evolve from a cold and desolate place with no roads or pavements and just 4 or 5 shops, into a thriving community, Croydon grew into a town to be proud of and almost made City status.
Unfortunately, things have changed for the worst and because of the appalling way that the 2 main parties have run the town for the last couple of decades we now have situation where the Borough has been bankrupted leaving the town’s services poorly run with shops closing down and crime moving in.
“Reform are brave and stand for freedom from the downward spiral of political and moral decline currently thriving in the UK”
What do you see as the big issues for Croydon and if elected what would you hope to champion?
I am frustrated with the daily news of illegal migration, along with violence, crime and a government who appears to lack the political will to deal with situation, similar things are happening to towns and cities all over our country.
Reform are brave and stand for freedom from the downward spiral of political and moral decline currently thriving in the UK. We may not have all the answers but I know we will give it a damn good try to reverse the decline and put us back on a footing where we can work towards making our country a place to be proud of once again.
