I have lived here for over 25 years – growing up, studying here, and building my career as an English language school director.

Full statement

East Oxford is a vibrant and diverse community, home to a rich mix of cafés, restaurants, independent shops, and cultural centres. I want to make it even better for everyone.

I am campaigning for:

Safer streets
Labour stopped the Greens and Lib Dems running the County Council from turning our street lights off after 11pm - and we’re pushing for more neighbourhood policing and action on speeding.

Better buses
We need action now to bring buses back under public control (giving us control over routes, fares, and timetables) and to extend the 3/3A to the station.

Action on Royal Mail
Too many homes in East Oxford are not getting their mail for days or weeks on end. We’ll keep pushing for post to be delivered on time - and to the right homes!

Bringing our communities together on transport
We want to end the division and change the way decisions are made for good - stopping new bus gates, changing LTNs where residents say they’re not working, and making it safer to walk and cycle with new crossings, more segregated cycle lanes, and better junctions.

Growing neighbourhoods to be proud of
Funding extra tree planting, street cleaning, litter picking, grass verge cutting, pothole repairs, and looking after our green spaces.
