Councillor for West End Ward
Having moved to the area around Fitzrovia while a student at UCL, Tim now lives in Soho. Previously a West End Councillor between 2018 and 2022, he was re-elected to the Council in September 2024.
We asked Tim to introduce himself.
My name is Tim Barnes, and I live and work in Soho. I am the CEO of a small charity that helps to make it easier for people who want to start a business and get ahead in life. In the past, I worked in universities, and ensuring the next generation reaches its full potential has been a persistent theme throughout my career in work and politics.The West End is an incredible place to live but it does come with issues. Our streets should be safe for everyone and to do that we must tackle crime and hold Sadiq Khan to account. I welcome the growth in cycling, but we need to deal with the chaos of abandoned e-bikes and the many other examples of how badly the council has mismanaged our public spaces, planning and licensing.
