I raised my children in Suffolk, dedicated my career to tackling addiction including county lines, as we see their emergence in this constituency.

Full statement

I worked to improve the safety of communities in Suffolk for over 15 years and helped those fleeing domestic abuse. I believe we have all been let down by self-serving vested political interests, evidenced by our county’s decline. I have the determination and skills needed to put Suffolk people first, represent our community, champion Suffolk for a positive future, stop wasting money and get Suffolk out of the red zone for pot holes!
Suffolk needs a council that will stand up for it, not kow-tow to either Labour or the Tories. We need a change to our funding formula to reflect the changing nature of Suffolk. We need our taxes focussed on frontline spend and not wasted.
