After serving globally in the corporate growth sector and writing many success stories, I am stepping towards civil services and standing as a Labour candidate in Canalside Woking.

Full statement

My priority is enabling an organised system so residents’ concerns can be addressed on priority.

As a Global Business Engineer, I reinvented over 4000 businesses whilst transforming the lives and relationships of people connected to these businesses. These experiences and proven approaches are missing from Woking Council.

Along with the experiences I have gained from my work in the local charity sector, I want to contribute my vision and expertise to maximise the potential of local assets with an innovative approach to how local government works that addresses the Council’s financial situation. I will use my experience to emphasise the importance of planning, finding the gaps and re-organising to achieve optimal results for residents.

WBC needs to put together a strategic plan to tackle the debt while managing the current issues with the cost of living. I would like to see this discussed and evaluated to ensure it benefits the community. I am driven to see better planning with transparency and accountability in all areas of growth and services by the Council.

I am running to be your Councillor because I want to make my contribution to improving the lives of Canalside residents. As a successful businesswoman, I know how to turn promises into results. I am a strategist and change-maker who understands what it takes to make real change.

Given the chance, I will fight for this change and be your voice to ensure you are at the centre of our work.
