I, Pamela Fitzpatrick, will always stand up for the people of Harrow West.
My name is Pamela Fitzpatrick, and I am standing as an independent Parliamentary candidate for Harrow West, a place where I live, work and raise my family. I am the founder of a local charity that was established in 2010, dedicated to providing free legal advice, and I am proud to have helped thousands with housing, benefits, and immigration issues. I am a former Chair of Governors, I am an experienced councillor, and I am a trustee for a youth charity, all roles through which I have directly witnessed the challenges we face from service cuts, extended GP wait times, and the lack of adequate support for children with special needs. I am deeply concerned about Harrow's housing crisis, which is exacerbated by the development of luxury properties that remain out of reach for most and affect many, but especially those in the private rented sector. I am part of our diverse community that feels the global impact of conflicts, emphasising the need for empathetic leadership. As a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and a director of the Peace and Justice Project, I am a committed advocate for social and economic justice, peace, and human rights in Harrow and beyond.

Why Harrow West needs change
Representation who understands our community
I am deeply rooted to the community in Harrow West. I have lived, worked and raised my family here, as a result understand exactly the issues and pressures that confront this community – this is the agenda for my candidacy rather than representing the interests of a mainstream party as a “whipped” MP.
Harrow's Housing Crisis
Harrow West needs a candidate that is going to stand up and address our community’s acute housing crisis. I am committed and determined to fight for more affordable homes and challenge the surge in luxury developments that do not meet our community's needs. Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home.
Challenging the cuts to local services
It’s clear to all who know Harrow West that reversing the devastating cuts to our local services is desperately needed. I am dedicated to ensuring our schools, healthcare, and support services receive the funding they need. Our community deserves access to quality public services that support everyone's well-being.
