Full statement

Clements Ward for 45 years. I’m very aware of the many issues impacting our local community and would be honoured to serve you as an independent councillor.

As well as attending the local schools in our immediate area I also had the privilege of graduating from Oxford Brookes University. I have established a successful career in professional property management where I gained many of the transferable skills required for being a councillor. I have the ability and experience to get St Clement’s what we need and deserve.

I’m not a career politician. Just like you, I’m a local person who wants to improve our community.

I WILL WORK WITH LIKE-MINDED COUNCILLORS TO:

• Oppose LTNs in their current form and consult in detail to suggest changes.

• Oppose bus gates, ZEZ expansion and workplace parking levy.

• Heal the divisions in our community.

• Work on alternatives – many of which have been put forward by St Clement’s residents to reduce congestion, speeding and improve road safety on all St Clement’s roads.

• Work to improve housing.

• Ensure South Park is restored. I have already met up with the organisers.

• Work to reduce noise levels generated from Cowley Road night life.
