Chris Carubia, Eastham

Chris was first elected as a councillor for Eastham in 2014 .

He was brought up and went to school in the ward he still represents today.

He has held a councillor surgery in Eastham library every Tuesday since being first elected, and has met hundreds of residents over the years discussing local and national issues as well as helping many individual residents and families not only in Eastham, but from across the wider borough.
