As an independent City Council candidate for Rose Hill and Iffley, I’m deeply rooted in this ward where my parents have lived for 40 years.

Full statement

I’ve been a local resident and entrepreneur running local businesses for over a decade. I understand the economic pressures faced by residents and local businesses. While I champion sustainability through my work in the EV sector, I believe transport must be practical. I’m passionate about removing LTNs and reviewing road speeds to resolve the severe congestion and keep Oxford’s transport flowing smoothly for everyone.

I also stand for global human rights and as a pro-Palestine voice for the community. I have worked in Local Government for many years . The role of Local Government is to help local people not making life more difficult. My whole family has voted for Labour for many years , Labour have let us down and we need change.

As an independent councillor, my commitment is to listen to your concerns and deliver common-sense leadership and pragmatic solutions for our community.
