Statement to voters

I am standing to represent the views of residents in Widcombe and Lyncombe and to challenge our council to do better for Bath.

Full statement



I have lived in Bath for 15 years. I have raised my family here and enjoyed all the amazing things our city has to offer. I have been a teacher for 30 years, most recently a headteacher, and now I want to serve the community in a different way.

I know from experience that money for vital local services is in short supply, and I have been so frustrated by the council's missed opportunities to spend funding effectively.

Too often residents views are ignored. I want to work hard to make sure that our council:
*Listens to residents and acts on their views and concerns
*Protects our environment, and our green spaces
*Holds developers to account when they build in our city
*Improves infrastructure, including affordable housing in the right places and services to support people

It’s been brilliant to see the Labour opposition on B&NES Council driving successful campaigns on automatic enrolment of children for free school meals, better public toilet facilities, and a get-home-safe scheme for night-shift workers. I want to be another Labour voice, pushing the Council to do better and working effectively with the Labour West of England Mayor, Police & Crime Commissioner, and even Ministers to get the best deal for our area.
