"I am really looking forward to standing as an independent candidate and serving our community.

Full statement

Cranbrook deserves a council that listens, acts, and delivers.

This local election is about the issues that affect our daily lives — safer streets, cleaner neighbourhoods, reliable services, and real support for families and local businesses. Too often, residents feel overlooked or unheard. That needs to change.

I am committed to being a strong, visible voice for Cranbrook within Redbridge Council — someone who will listen to your concerns, stand up for our community, and work tirelessly to get things done. From tackling fly-tipping and improving road safety, to protecting green spaces and supporting local high streets, my focus is on practical solutions that make a real difference. This is our community, and together we can make it better.

On election day, vote for positive change. Vote for a councillor who will put Cranbrook first.
