Positions, Voting Record & Activity Summary
Across his council service, Andreas Ioannidis has shown a consistent, albeit evolving, engagement with community development and financial oversight. His most recent activity in 2026 was limited to his role on the Pension Fund Committee, attending a meeting in January. This follows a more involved 2025, where he was a regular attendee of committee meetings, notably the Pension Fund Committee. In 2025, his most significant recorded action was declaring a pecuniary interest as a Member of the Colindale Communities Trust and speaking in favor of the Maxability - Hands on the Wheel Pottery and Ceramics classes scheme, leading him to abstain from a related vote. He also seconded the nomination of Councillor Anne Hutton for Vice-Chair of the Pension Fund Committee. Earlier, in 2024, Ioannidis was actively involved in budgetary discussions, voting in favor of Labour Group proposals over Conservative amendments during the Annual Council meeting. His engagement in 2024 also included community projects, mirroring his 2025 actions by declaring a pecuniary interest in the Colindale Communities Trust and speaking positively about the Maxability pottery classes, which resulted in his recusal from a vote on an IT support application for the trust.
Key Themes and Priorities:
- Community Development: A strong and consistent theme, particularly evident in his support for initiatives through the Colindale Communities Trust, such as the Maxability pottery classes.
- Financial Oversight: Demonstrated through his consistent membership and attendance at the Pension Fund Committee, and his engagement with budgetary matters in 2024.
Evolution of Focus: While his early engagement in 2024 focused on broader budgetary and council policy, his recent activity (2025-2026) has increasingly centered on his specific roles within committees, particularly the Pension Fund Committee, and his involvement with community trusts. The emphasis has shifted from broader policy to more specific, interest-declared contributions to community projects and committee functions.
Most Significant Contributions (Recent Years): In 2025, his vocal support for the Maxability - Hands on the Wheel Pottery and Ceramics classes, despite abstaining from the vote due to a declared interest, highlights his commitment to community programs. His role in seconding the nomination for Vice-Chair of the Pension Fund Committee also indicates his active participation in the committee's governance.
Patterns and Consistent Areas of Interest: Ioannidis demonstrates a pattern of active participation in council and committee meetings. His involvement with the Colindale Communities Trust and his focus on financial oversight through the Pension Fund Committee are consistent areas of interest across his recent years of service. He also shows a willingness to declare interests and recuse himself when necessary, indicating an adherence to ethical conduct.
