I have lived in Worcester since 2012 and moved into Arboretum ward in 2015.

Full statement

 I love living in this beautiful city. However, it needs to be more ambitious to negotiate the climate emergency. I favour empty houses being put back into use to meet the need for more houses. To improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion, I advocate cycle hire and more car clubs to lessen dependency on private motor cars.

Over the last eighteen months I have demonstrated my commitment to improving the lives of residents in Arboretum. I have helped 70 residents access home insulation grants and fixed drainage issues. I have got potholes fixed, improved broken pavements, and got street name plates restored or replaced. I have planted trees and bulbs in Bishop's Avenue and Sharman Close. I have the vision, experience, and dedication needed to represent Arboretum residents and make their voices heard. I'd like to thank local residents for supporting my campaign.
