I have lived in Wiltshire since retiring from the MOD in 2009, and am proud to have called our beautiful town of Devizes home for the last 5 years.

Full statement

Since moving to Devizes, I’ve become involved with Sustainable Devizes, the Wiltshire Climate Alliance, and the Green Party. All organisations committed to delivering a better future for local residents.

My highest priority is to ensure that Wiltshire Council delivers a sustainable local plan that provides safe, warm affordable homes for all citizens, while preserving the character of the area.

If elected I will be able to do more for local residents, ensuring that your voice is heard on local issues such as fly-tipping and pavement fouling.

As a retired Civil Servant, I understand how local government works and have the time available to put that knowledge to good use. I previously stood as a candidate for the Wiltshire Council in the Bromham Rowde and Potterne ward and Devizes Rural and West. I have several years’ experience of local campaigning.

The Green Party never tell their councillors how to vote. So, I can be an independent voice for Devizes North putting residents and not party politics first.
I have loved working with you and for you, finding out what matters to you, looking for solutions to local problems and working to make this area better for everyone in the community. That’s why I’m standing for election.

I would be honoured to be your representative on Wiltshire Council and get even more done for you as your councillor.
