Full statement

He wants to make a real difference to local residents with his interests in health, social care and diversity. Born, raised and educated in Portsmouth, family is all important to Edward. Family members have links to the Royal Navy, Army, the Royal Air Force and Ministry of Defence so veteran welfare is high on his agenda. Edward champions the rich diversity of Portsmouth through volunteering with a charity supporting race equality. He lives in the Eastney area and has previously worked in the fitness and leisure industry. While campaigning with a local patient voice group about the lack of dentists in the city, Edward was interviewed on the local Meridian news about his personal difficulties getting access to an NHS dentist. Edward is a member of his GP Surgery’s Patient Participation Group and always speaks up for patients and carers. Passionate about making a Portsmouth a better place to live and work, Edward is listening to your concerns, worries, issues and ideas. He is calling on as many Eastney and Craneswater residents as possible to listen to their concerns. He is regularly out campaigning with Stephen Morgan MP and Southsea councillors Charlotte Gerada, George Fielding and Graham Heaney as well as other Labour councillors and candidates across the city. Edward say, ”I hope you will vote for me in the upcoming local elections so I can be your voice for Eastney and Craneswater on the council”.
