Arthur Haynes

Arthur moved into the area over 20 years ago as his work in IT brought him closer to London. Now retired, he has more time for his children and grandchildren, all living not too far away, which often means helping with childcare for working parents. It also means he is more able to support his football team, AFC Wimbledon, watch more cricket, and finally have time to maintain his allotment.
