Justine lives in West Hill in Putney. Born in 1969 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Justine attended her local comprehensive school, before studying economics at Southampton University. She has an MBA from the London Business School and was a Finance Manager at Centrica plc before being elected as the MP for Putney, Roehampton and Southfields in May 2005.
Justine says: "Putney's a great place - and we want to keep it that way. I know people of all generations, especially my own, are switching off politics. I hope that at least in Putney I can start to change that for the better by always being approachable, listening to residents and standing up for our concerns. Whether its Heathrow, crime, or the District Line, I'll be there working with residents to make sure our views are listened to and acted upon".
Justine is also a school governor at Hotham Primary school in Putney.
Justine's Experience:
Justine was elected as the Member of Parliament for Putney in May 2005. She has been a member of the Work and Pensions Select Committee; in 2007 Justine became a Shadow Treasury Minister, and in 2009 moved to the Communities and Local Government Team and became Shadow Minister for London.
Since the Election in May 2010, Justine has held the position of Economic Secretary to the Treasury within the Coalition Government.
Campaigns:
Justine thinks people are fed up with politicians who sit in their ivory towers and only come out at election time. She believes representing Putney means understanding people's issues directly, and getting out and about across the entire constituency constantly.
Locally, Putney Conservatives survey households on a weekly basis across a range of local issues. If you haven't had one of our Resident's Surveys, then email us at the address on the 'Contact Us' page and we will arrange to send one to you.
Justine is leading the District Line campaign, pressing for a better service and cleaner tube trains. Already Justine has ensured that a new lift was recently installed at Southfields.
Justine has been instrumental in tackling anti-social behaviour across Putney, running campaigns in crime hotspots to draw the community together and face down criminal activity.
