James Rowan Chatterton Dickson (born 16 January 1964) is a British Labour Co-op politician who currently serves as the local Councillor for Herne Hill & Loughborough Junction for over 20 years, and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dartford since 2024. He was also Leader of Lambeth Council between 1994 and 2000.
At the 2024 general election, Dickson defeated Gareth Johnson of the Conservative Party in the traditionally bellwether seat, having previously led Lambeth Council, served as Politics Director at consultancy firm, Four Communications, and been a Director at the Canning Town based Charity, the Thames Festival Trust.[1]
Dickson attracted local media attention for his support of the ULEZ expansion[2] as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dartford, and for his decision to continue to serve on Lambeth Council.[3]
