I have represented the residents of Worplesdon ward on Guildford Borough Council since being elected in 2023, and I currently serve as the Conservative Deputy Group Leader.

Full statement

Over the last three years, I have enjoyed supporting residents, tackling casework, and addressing local concerns with a practical, results-focused approach. I am now standing for the Worplesdon division in the proposed West Surrey Unitary Council so I can continue to serve our community.

My priorities are clear: protecting our valued green spaces, ensuring that any development is properly planned and supported by infrastructure, and resisting speculative building that does not meet local needs. I will work to improve road safety, support local services, and strengthen community facilities. I am also committed to improving support for children and families with special educational needs, ensuring they have access to the resources and opportunities they deserve. I will ensure the voices of our villages, Fairlands, Fox Corner, Jacobs Well, Normandy, Perry Hill, Pirbright, and Wanborough are heard while delivering sensible, balanced solutions for residents.
