Tom currently serves as Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Development, and has previously been Cabinet Member for Education, Youth and Children Services.

Tom has lived in Hounslow all his life, attending The Andrew Ewing Primary school (now called Westbrook Primary school) and Heston Community school, both in Heston. He now works as a senior teacher in a neighbouring borough, and before becoming a Councillor, worked at Cranford Primary School in the West of Hounslow.

Tom is passionate about the development of the borough, and he aims to work with the community supporting people achieving their dreams and aspirations. He has always wanted, and continues to want, to make Hounslow a better place for people to live. A place where they feel happy, safe and positive about their own and their family’s future.
