I am proud to be the Green Party candidate in Sandwich and villages.

Full statement

I’m known across East Kent as a wildlife and countryside campaigner and it takes up a lot of my time since I retired from the Kent Specialist Teaching Service. I’m one of the many who volunteer in the community, where I’ve served as a school governor, and more recently as a trustee of Gazen Salts Nature Reserve and of Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory.
Since 2023 I have also been a councillor on both Walmer and Deal Town Councils. My interests include surveying wildlife, currently on a Nature Friendly Farming Network farm on the Ash Levels. I love this corner of Kent where I’ve lived, worked and raised my family. I’m dedicated to making it the best it can be for local people now and in the future. I am known locally for speaking up and writing against environmental and social injustices. We must get enough funding for KCC child and adult social services, move the Making Space for Nature project forward and improve rural bus services. All of us will benefit from a fairer and more resilient Kent.
