For over 20 years, I have called Ilkeston my home and place of work It’s where I have built my life, raised my children, and became part of a community that I care deeply about.

Full statement

Now that my children are older, I am ready to give back—fighting for the people of South Derbyshire and Kirk Hallam to ensure our area gets the support, investment, and attention it deserves.

I have seen first-hand the challenges our community faces: struggling local services, the need for better infrastructure, and the importance of making sure every voice is heard. I am standing because I believe in a future where our towns thrive, where families feel secure, and where hard work is rewarded.

I will work tirelessly to:
✅ Protect and improve our local services
✅ Support businesses and job opportunities in our area
✅ Fight for investment in roads, schools, and public spaces
✅ Listen to your concerns and be a strong voice for our community

This is our home, and I want to make it the best place it can be. If you put your trust in me, I will dedicate myself to standing up for South Derbyshire and Kirk Hallam—because our community deserves nothing less.
