Born in Mayday Hospital, I’m a lifelong Croydonian with deep roots in our community.

Full statement

For over 20 years, I have served as a school governor at schools across the borough. I ran the Vote Leave campaign in Croydon and have stood for office before.

I had hoped to leave party politics behind, but I’ve decided to run because I remember growing up in an area full of prosperity and opportunity – with excellent shopping, strong road networks, and a vibrant nightlife. Years of failure and political meddling by the council have squandered much of that legacy, leaving taxpayers with mounting debt while hollowing out vital services.

I want to help deliver a council that gets the basics right and empowers the people of Croydon to build the local businesses, jobs, and services we all desire.
