Sachin Rajput is a lifelong resident of Barnet and a barrister by profession, bringing both deep local roots and extensive public service experience to his candidacy for Finchley Church End. Born and raised in the borough, Sachin has devoted his adult life to serving the community in a variety of roles. He has been a voluntary school governor for over twenty years, and currently serves as Vice Chairman of the governing body at Oakleigh School, a specialist school supporting children with severe learning difficulties, complex needs, and disabilities. His commitment to education and inclusion has been a hallmark of his service.
Beyond education, Sachin has played a leading role in community life. He serves on a residents’ association committee, chairs one of Barnet’s Community Action Panels in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, and previously spent two decades as a trustee of an almshouse association, providing housing for those in need. He also has the distinction of having served as a Conservative councillor in Barnet for sixteen years, giving him a wealth of experience in council leadership and decision-making.
As a candidate for Finchley Church End, Sachin has set out clear priorities. He is determined to fight against overdevelopment and inappropriate proposals, including plans for tower blocks at Finchley Central Station, ensuring that new developments respect the character and needs of the community. He has pledged to tackle crime and the fear of crime, from burglary and vehicle crime to anti-social behaviour, working closely with residents, the police, and the council to keep streets safe. He also champions sensible, resident-focused transport policies, opposing Labour’s attempts to impose inappropriate bus lanes on Regents Park Road and standing up for local traders and families.
Sachin’s vision for Finchley Church End is of a ward that remains an excellent place to live and work. He wants to see safe roads and pavements, cleaner streets free from dumped waste and abandoned bikes, and a council held accountable for delivering value for money. Above all, he looks forward to working with residents, community groups, faith organisations, and schools to ensure Finchley Church End continues to be an area that people are proud to call home.
With his combination of professional expertise, long-standing community involvement, and proven council experience, Sachin Rajput offers Finchley Church End a candidate who is both deeply rooted in the borough and ready to serve with energy, conviction, and dedication.
