St. Mary's and St. James Ward
Cllr Kurtis Christoforides
Born in rural Somerset, Kurtis and his partner moved to Bexley many years ago, drawn by the borough’s unique location within striking distance of both central London and the rolling countryside of Kent. After a spell in Bexleyheath, they moved to Bexley Village, and Kurtis is proud to represent his home ward of St Mary’s and St James. The area has a unique feel and character which deserves to be preserved and enhanced.
A former police officer, Kurtis is now the director of a charity that recruits, trains and develops talented individuals with a strong sense of public service to be outstanding neighbourhood constables and detectives in police forces throughout England and Wales. He hopes to use the skills, knowledge and attributes developed throughout his professional career to make the ward and the borough even better for those who live, work and visit here.
Cllr Cameron Smith
Originally from Cumbria and raised in Hampshire, Cameron moved to Bexley to settle with his wife and start a family after university and working abroad. He’s proud to live here and serve the community, which was so welcoming to him and his family.
Cameron works in communications and has worked for a variety of organisations. As a local councillor, he’s dedicated to protecting our local area’s unique character and green spaces, supporting the high street, and improving local transport links and road safety.
