Hillrise

Niall Creech

Born in Galloway, Scotland, and brought up in Edinburgh, Niall has lived and worked in places like Alberta, Canada, and the Orkney islands in Scotland before finding his place in London. Over his time he has worked in landscape gardening, designed websites for small businesses, worked in government , Argos, and in Amazons technology business.

Together with his wife Sarah, he has had his home in and around Archway in London for the last 15 years. Their two children, Charlie and Emily, have grown up at the local primary schools, and now high schools here.

Believing that there is no age limit on being young, he has taken up snowboarding and wakeboarding over the last few years, and is still looking for new ways to fall off boards.

I have lived in Hillrise for 35 years with my family. I care passionately about nature and am part of the Islington Wildlife Gardeners’ Group. I am deeply concerned about biodiversity loss and the dangers to us all of climate change. I want to see more renewable energy, home insulation, and general decarbonisation within the Borough (as well as around the UK and indeed, the rest of the world). I am also concerned about pollution generally, and air and water pollution in particular, both of which damage people as well as wildlife. When not engaged in environmental activities I paint watercolours, quite often out of doors around the Borough.

I am a mature, disabled student at Universal College London, in the final year of a Social Sciences degree. I have a background in project analysis however decided that I wanted to understand more about the way society works, so that I could make a real difference to people’s lives.

I moved to Islington just before the pandemic and I have been impressed by the way the community has come together to provide support to people over these last challenging two years. I do community voluntary work whenever my time/health permits, and I can’t wait to get more involved locally as my degree concludes.

I have a wealth of life experience and can empathise with many struggles facing local residents. I am a social housing tenant who has relied on state support for long periods of my life due to illness. I understand the battles that people face in getting access to the help and support they need.

Of course, being Green, the protection of our environment is at the centre of everything that I do. Yet so are people’s lives. One can’t work without the other, and I hope to be instrumental in driving this agenda forward.
