Philip Nelson - Ward Chair, King's Cross

Philip was state educated before attending the University of Wales in Cardiff where he gained a degree in Economics. After Graduating Philip worked within financial services before moving into Financial Recruitment where he has spent the past 16 years.

Having moved to the King's Cross 3 years ago, Philip was appalled by how badly people in Camden were being served by the Labour Controlled Council and decided to become more actively involved in his local community. A Camden School Governor who regularly attends meetings of the Camden Police Consultative Group, Philip will be putting his name forward to be considered as a candidate in the Local Elections on behalf of the Conservativatives in 2006.

Alex Pierre-Traves

Alex Pierre-Traves (‘AP-T’) spent his formative years in Toronto, Canada before leaving in 1996 to explore the world.  Prior to settling in the UK, AP-T lived in Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Paris and Puerto Rico. 

 

AP-T attended Loyola University Chicago (1999-2002) where he obtained a B.A. in International Studies, Business and Politics and a M.A. in British and European Politics from London Metropolitan University (2003-2004), writing a speculative paper on the economic prospects and legal viability of Britain withdrawing from the European Union. 

 

He currently divides his time between his role at KPMG as a production coordinator, and his increasingly active involvement in the Holborn & St Pancras CA and Kensington & Chelsea CA as well as several other Conservative-affiliated organisations.  AP-T is also an avid writer, writing articles about life and politics and is completing a novel.

 

He lives in a tiny flat in Covent Garden with his cat of 14 years, Lama.

Barbara Douglas and Richard Merrin

Local Government Officer Barbara Douglass is on the committee of the Bloomsbury Partnership, a member of St. George's Bloomsbury Parochial Church Council, and a volunteer at a local primary school, helping children with reading difficulties.

Barbara, a public relations consultant, specialises in textiles and interior design.   She lives in a property under lease from Camden and her experience liaising with the Council on behalf of residents leads her to comment:  "It is often difficult to resolve the most simple problems.   I would like to see Camden taking more responsibility for day to day housing matters."
