Upminster has been my home for practically all of my life and it's a great feeling to stand in this election, hoping to represent my local area on Havering council.

Full statement

I'm a sports enthusiast who enjoys watching football as well as playing badminton and running. My running has been a significant part of my life over the past year and I ran the London Marathon in April, raising over £3000 for a local charity.

Oh, I'm also level A2 certified in Spanish too because I always wanted to learn.

I've been involved in politics since 2021 for the Conservative Party, delivering countless leaflets across Havering and holding many conversations with residents. We know our country is stuck in a rut with high levels of taxation, high levels of immigration and services that aren't functioning in the way they should be.

However, nobody in this election can solve them. This election is about Upminster.

You may have heard about the poor state of council finances but the focus should be on what we can do. We live in a lovely area and that's our standard to maintain for years to come.

My key priorities are:

1. Fixing dangerous pavements - Repaving Argyle Gardens and Bridge Avenue
2. Enhancing Upminster Park facilities - Working with Friends of Upminster Park to offer more outdoor facilities near to the playing area such as a Padel court
3. High street deep cleaning - Cleaning Station Lane and Corbets Tey Road
