Your Lower Morden Team
James Bogle has lived in Merton with his wife, Joanna, for more than 30 years and loves living in the borough. He is standing to be a local councillor in order to help local people and help improve the local community and local environment. He and Joanna especially like to address the litter and graffiti issues in the borough and are dab hands with the scrubbing brush and solvent. James believes politics is best when it is local because it can be more responsive to the day-to-day wishes and needs of the voters. He was chairman of Lower Morden Conservatives in the 1980s having settled here after leaving the regular army. James has been a barrister for 30 years, specialising in civil and commercial practice, and, if elected, can bring his legal skills to bear in Council, when required.
