Treasurer: Position currently vacant.
Media and communications: Darryl Chamberlain lived next to the Woolwich Road flyover for more than 20 years after his family moved to Greenwich in the mid-1970s. He knows from personal experience the cost of having such high levels of traffic in the local area, which spurred him onto help start the original anti-Silvertown Tunnel petition in December 2012. He is a journalist who also writes about local issues on his 853 blog and contributes to the Charlton Champion website.
Nikki Coates has lived in Charlton for eight years and hopes to live there for many more years to come. She worked in business analysis and project management for a large bank for 14 years but is currently taking a career break. She is a committee member of the Charlton Society, and is working on a handful of local campaigns at time of writing.
Jill Austen has lived in south-east London all her life and in Charlton for the past 35 years. She is a teacher and governor at a local school and a committee member of a local branch of a teachers’ union. Other interests include local history, walking, gardening and lots more.
Our other committee members are Robbie Gordon and Jim Ludlam.
