Hi.

Full statement

I’m really excited to be standing for the Leckhampton Ward in the local elections on May 2nd.

As a Labour Party member and supporter, I’m a bit tired of not feeling represented locally. I’d like to be part of a change to give people with traditional labour values of economic efficiency and social justice a voice.

I’ve recently stopped working as a consultant in the private sector focussing on risk, efficiency and change across some massive organisations and I want to put my skills and experience to good use. I’m taking this really seriously and I’ll be devoting myself full-time to the job. I’ll still be swimming locally though and dog-walking around the amazing spaces we have at our disposal. I count myself extremely lucky to live here and I’ll be very happy to help to maintain the amazing environment we have and to work to ensure that we can all get the best from it.

I believe that Cheltenham needs a council that includes a voice like mine expressing opinions like yours. Your vote will be valued and well invested. I’ll work hard to deliver results in the things that matter most in the ward.
