The Croydon Green Party have selected Peter Underwood, a Croydon resident for 20 years as their candidate to stand in the Selsdon Vale and Forestdale by-election.

Peter stood as the Green candidate for executive mayor of Croydon in May and also stood in Fairfield ward where he missed being elected by 23 votes.

Peter is a Selsdon resident and is active in his local residents’ association. His day job is co-ordinating volunteers for two charities that aim to improve Croydon’s open spaces. Peter has spent a large part of his career working in the civil service and hopes to bring his expertise on the workings of government to his work as a local councillor.
