Justin Halabi is a local boy who has lived opposite Heathcote School his whole life. Justin is passionate about seeing our local community thrive; regularly organising community clean-ups and playing a massive part in the fight for appropriate development across the area. He is a patron of local charity Smiles with Grace, which helps those suffering from cancer, and undertakes a key role in organising fundraising projects.
He has also volunteered for over three years with a community centre, helping to deliver youth projects, care for the elderly and local heritage projects. Justin has a law degree, is trained as a barrister and is currently working within financial services.
He hopes to use the breadth of his experience to help develop common sense policies to solve problems in Council.
Justin said: “I want to unite communities under a common aim. That takes communication and actually listening to people’s concerns. If elected, I will work to make sure that the Council hears and considers the views of residents and does not force Walthamstow-centric policies on us in Chingford. I can’t wait to get started. I will work hard to deliver for all residents in Hatch Lane Ward.”
