As a lifelong resident of East Barnet Ward, I have a deep connection to the local community and a clear understanding of both its strengths and the challenges it faces.

Full statement

I care passionately about protecting what makes this area such a great place to live and raising the services of the Council to a standard that local residents deserve.

I am standing to protect what matters most to local people: keeping our area safe, pleasant and affordable. My priorities are clear: resisting rising taxes, protecting weekly bin collections, tackling potholes, improving street safety and attracting quality shops to our high streets.

These objectives are increasingly at risk due to increasing budget shortfalls facing Barnet Council, year-on-year. We need leadership that makes responsible decisions and focuses on delivering for residents.

That is why I am proud to stand for Reform, a party committed to cutting waste, governing with efficiency and putting local residents first.
