My name is Joe Briel. I’m a proud Geordie who has called Lambeth home for the past 12 years. As a former social worker and teacher, and now the founder of a social enterprise helping young people into creative careers, my work has always been rooted in helping others succeed. I bring energy, creativity and a practical approach to solving problems. Working alongside Labour councillor Alison Inglis-Jones, I’ve worked hard to tackle issues like fly-tipping, street cleanliness and community safety. Seeing Alison’s tenacious approach to casework and how she stands up for residents has been inspiring, and I’m determined to match that commitment to our community.
It would be a privilege to serve Clapham Common and Abbeville – the area I love. With my partner and I expecting our first child this year, I feel more invested than ever in making our neighbourhood safe and a great place to grow up.
