A fresh and powerful voice for residents

Together we will tackle the real issues affecting you

Understanding both residents and the City is key

Paul Singh – Common Councillor for Cripplegate

Working to bring residents and the City closer together

In March 2022, I was elected in Cripplegate at the City of London elections. I am a resident at Breton House, Barbican and work as a director of a number of construction businesses within the City of London and beyond. I am now Policy Lead for SMEs and on five important committees at the Corporation, including the Property Investment Board and Audit & Risk, where I aim to influence decision making so that residents are fully respresented.

My focus

Combining my knowledge, experience and network, I truly believe that I can tackle the real issues affecting you including:

More influence on developments

Residents need to be engaged early - and the City must listen - so that every development is sympathetic to the local community/architecture; supports public amenity and is built in a genuinely sustainable way. For this, we need to be involved at Master Planning stage.

Improving communication

Residents and the Corporation need better channels to share and agree decisions. Councillors are key to this so ideas needs to be gathered and articulated in a unified way whether via surgeries, newsletters or meetings with the Council, residents or associations.

Tackling antisocial behaviour

Proactive initiatives are needed that focus on the cause of such behaviour. Leveraging the resources of the Square Mile to create, for example, more after school & holiday activities or generating more community spaces should get people engaged in the right ways.

Coordinated Major Works & Maintenance

Building works are inevitable however the way in which they are coordinated and carried out should be sensitive to residents. The minimum requirement is making sure people are kept up-to-date and concerns addressed as much as possible.

Climate Action

Supporting the City’s Climate Action Strategy and ensuring it feeds down to the Ward. Amongst other things, our estates need green spaces to be developed; more secure cycle parking; adequate heating and insulation systems; and more advice and awareness.

Care and support

Our decision-making needs to always account for the needs of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and less able whether this is in the form of communication we choose, accessibility to transport/amenities or involvement in the community.

My journey

I spent my early years working in many industries including retail, hospitality and education before climbing my way up the property and construction industry culminating in a career dealing with claims and disputes. From then on, I launched a number of businesses and am Founder and CFO at EEDN ltd. which is a consultancy for the technical real estate area. I am now and elected Councillor, Policy Lead for SMEs for the City of London and stand on a number of Boards within the City and beyond.
