Asher Bennett is the Conservative candidate for Hendon ward in the upcoming local elections.
A married father of two, Asher balances a busy family life with a demanding career as a solicitor. A keen sportsman, he plays both basketball and football, while his lifelong love of music sees him regularly playing the saxophone.
Born and raised in north London, Asher put himself through the University of London by running his own business during the day and studying law at night – an experience that instilled in him discipline, resilience and a strong work ethic. He later made the successful transition from documentary film production into the legal profession, qualifying as a solicitor and gaining valuable insight into how government and public services operate.
Friends describe Asher as friendly, funny and approachable – qualities that have helped him build lasting relationships across the community.
Asher’s top three priorities for Hendon
- Street safety
- Waste collection and street cleaning
- Improving access to special educational needs assessments
