Full statement

I am campaigning to be your city councillor for Alphington. I want the village to be the crown jewel of Exeter – the place that everyone else envies – with the best services, housing and small businesses in the city.

The Liberal Democrats have a strong record across Exeter and Devon, including in neighbouring Teignbridge and more recently Devon County Council. I wish to continue this trend and be a community champion for the village and surrounding area, bringing transparency and strong governance values to the table to strengthen the link between the council and residents.

I put community at the heart of everything I do, and I want residents to feel a part of a strong one. I work as a tennis coach across the city, providing free community tennis sessions to people of all ages and backgrounds. In my work, I champion inclusion and access to our green spaces and would continue to do so as your councillor.

I will ensure that the council works to maintain the balanced community that we have in Alphington, through careful scrutiny of proposed developments, championing community projects and enhancing local services. I would be a councillor that will stand up and advocate for the area and ensure that the voices of residents are heard at the Civic Centre. I hope I can count on your support on 7th May.
