One of Lewisham's top Liberal Democrats is returning to fight in the upcoming General Election.
Forest Hill campaigner Alex Feakes is standing for the party in the Lewisham West and Penge parliamentary constituency where he will take on veteran Labour MP Jim Dowd among others.
Mr Feakes served as a Forest Hill councillor for eight years before his party was wiped out from the town hall at the last local elections.
The Physics teacher and former film maker stood for the same seat in 2010, securing 28 per cent of the vote.
He said: "I will challenge Labour's complacency about representing our community on so many issues - jobs and the economy, education and training, local autonomy and housing.
"Many people complain that their vote is taken for granted by Labour but they are not given a voice - it's time for the people this constituency to get an MP that listens, and acts."
