Sital Punja is a passionate activist who campaigned strongly to dismantle the Tories and win her first Councillor election in Yiewsley in May 2022 with a landslide Labour victory. She is an elected London Regional Executive Committee Member for Hillingdon and Ealing, Hillingdon Labour’s lead on Health and Social Care Select Committee, Vice Chair and Membership of Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner CLP and, Chair of a female led global land restoration charity TreeSisters.
Her ambition and commitment to overturn the Conservative Govt nationally and locally means that she holds the Conservatives to account whether it is in the select committees or in the Council Chamber. In November 2023 she delivered a monumental constitutional change for gender equality when the Conservative administration agreed to change all the references of Chairman to Chair.
Sital has proven to be an instrumental cog in the strategy development and delivery of Hillingdon Labour’s campaign to win the Council in 2026 and was a key member of the campaign team in the recent general election win in Uxbridge and South Ruislip as well as the Mayor of London elections.
As an award-winning social entrepreneur, Sital passionately gets behind causes and stand up for people’s rights. Not only has Sital championed the environmental agenda addressing sustainability in fashion, construction and land restoration under the lens of protection for women, but, has also been able to be bring in rights for women in her workplace from equal pay, stronger maternity protection policies and menopause well-being support.
Sital is a mother of two teenage daughters, loves walking her dog in the local woods, addicted to arts and culture, in particular poetry which you’ll find her scribbling at every opportunity.
