COUNCILLOR WAYNE HOBAN SELECTED FOR GLA SEAT

12.12.02

Liberal Democrats in Enfield and Haringey have selected Councillor Wayne Hoban as their prospective candidate for the Greater London Authority constituency of Enfield and Haringey.

Wayne Hoban, Lib Dem Deputy Leader on Haringey Council and councillor for Alexandra, was chosen by party members across the two boroughs at a hustings meeting on Tuesday night.

Wayne Hoban stood as a general election candidate in Enfield Southgate constituency last year, and overturned a previously safe Labour ward when elected to Haringey Council this year.

Mr Hoban is a superintendent radiographer working in the National Health Service. In recent years, he has also been a co-ordinator of radiography service to United Nations mortuary in Bosnia and Kosovo established by the UN International Crime Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

Wayne Hoban comments:

“I am delighted to have been selected. The Lib Dems on the GLA are doing an excellent job, and I am looking forward to campaigning on London wide issues, such as the crisis in transport facing the capital, and Labour’s terrible handling of the Tube.

Mr Hoban was congratulated on his selection by GLA member and fellow local councillor, Lynne Featherstone:

”I am certain Wayne will make an excellent spokesman for Enfield and Haringey in the run up to the GLA election in 2004. I am looking forward to working closely with him in the coming months.”
