My husband and I have three children, one of whom has significant learning difficulties and complex physical needs.

Full statement

It took years of hard work and determination to get the county council to provide the essential support and care that our son desperately needs. I now work for a local disability charity supporting other families. I am also a passionate advocate for Worcester to be an inclusive and accessible city.

I have found great satisfaction in serving my local area and using my professional training as a solicitor and a small business owner to get things done. During the last year I have learnt how important it is to listen to the community and strive to give them a voice by representing them.

I believe the success of the high street in Worcester is due to our independent businesses and I want to ensure that we do all that we can to ensure their long term success.

St Peter’s is already a wonderful place to live, but it will only remain so through effective representation at the council. New challenges are developing that will need clear leadership and a detailed understanding of residents’ views. I want to use my experience to ensure that St Peter’s continues to be a fantastic place to live for years to come.
