Born in Swindon and living in Eldene for almost twenty years, I live and breathe our home.

Full statement

I have served in the Wiltshire Constabulary; have a Master’s Degree in Science and I am a Chartered Geographer in the Royal Geographical Society. I work in the engineering consultancy sector and have had the opportunity to work on many local and major national infrastructure projects (transportation, environmental and water) which has equipped me with many skills that I am keen to bring and utilise within the council.

My personal ethos is that I believe everyone should be treated fairly no matter their background and be given opportunities to do the best they can in life. Swindon has an amazing number of cultures but as a town we lack community and integration, I am keen to see this change to bring everyone together and support each other, especially in such challenging times.

As a scientist, I am always keen to find answers to problems and in this case our council tax. I have never been provided with a satisfactory answer with such when questioning those who are making these decisions. As a frustrated taxpayer, I’m keen to get under the bonnet of the council to find out exactly where money is being wasted and where we can make improvement’s. It has saddened me to see a town so full of potential be neglected and allowed to be run down. It is scandalous that we are not completing with the likes of Bristol, Oxford and Reading. It’s time that we had openness and transparency so that truthful dialogue can take place to forge a path forward.

I am standing for election because I genuinely care about our community, town and country and believe I have the maturity, skills and passion to breathe new life into our troubled town. I get great enjoyment out of helping others but I have never been afraid to stand up for what is right even if that means going against the grain, as a logical thinker I base decisions on fact and not to appease. I am always open to different ideas and suggestions and have a very good ear for listening.

It is now time for those elected to remember that they are there to serve us and not the other way round, to restore trust and integrity into the broken political system and that starts today. Our children and grandchildren will judge us in what we did and not what we would say we would do.

I am not a politician but someone deeply concern about the direction of our country, the poor value we as taxpayers get.

While we welcome genuine refugees, mass immigration is an elephant in the room that is not being addressed. It is driving down wages and our quality of life, we need a fair system for all.

The banging of the drum of war by the red and blue uni-party is extremely alarming too, there is too much accusation and not enough dialogue.

I want to see my taxes spent on local issues instead of disappearing overbroad. We are extremely concerned of tensions in the Ukraine and Gaza where the blood flows but the diplomacy does not.

We are lucky to have such a great diverse community but we want to see less segregation and more integration being a Swindon family where everyone is included.

We are standing for peace and humanity as a beacon of hope in these dark times to bring diplomacy, understanding and above all trust.

I want to work for YOU and not the other way round as it has been for far too long now.

I will fight for your children and my beloved daughter, the most important people.

Swindon Manifesto:

PEACE NOT WAR! We want to seek peaceful solutions in Ukraine and Gaza. Taxpayers money should be spent in the UK and not sent to fund death and destruction when these issues can be resolved diplomatically.

Without immediate de-escalation, WWIII is inevitable and our children will be called up to fight as they currently are in France and Germany.

NHS REFORMATION The NHS is well funded by the taxpayer but lacks qualified staff. We want to reintroduce the nurses bursary and support junior doctors to make this an attractive career once again for British nationals. We should not be immorally pillaging staff from other country's who have their own shortages.

GAS, ELECTRIC, WATER AND OIL It is OUTRAGEOUS how we are paying such high energy Bill's when our island has it's own supplies.

We must take these natural resources back into public ownership immediately to eradicate unethical profiteering.

INTEGRATE NOT SEGREGATE We have an amazing diverse community in Swindon but there is a clear lack of integration. We want to build bridges and unite communities to break down these invisible borders.

END MASS IMMIGRATION We WELCOME genuine refugees, however the vast amount of immigration is economic putting pressure on our infrastructure such as housing, schools and the NHS.

Up to 800,000 net immigration a year is unsustainable. Many are exploited for cheap labour driving down wages, some are imported as modern day slaves from farming to the sex industry.

We need a FAIR immigration system to obtain the skills we need so there is a fair balance to get our infrastructure back up to speed.

END NET ZERO MADNESS We love our beautiful town and do enough through recycling and other schemes. We oppose ULEZ that is nothing but an agenda for control and higher taxes.

Labour have rolled this extremely unpopular scheme across London against the electorates wishes and have spoken about implementing this across the UK.

SAVE OASIS HALL AND SPEEDWAY

No ifs, no buts, both of these important aspects of our heritage must be preserved.

AXE TV LICENCE TAX It is appalling people are forced to pay £180 a year to watch live TV funding the BBC even if you have no intention of watching it.

KEEP CASH The uni-party want to remove cash from our lives by implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency. This is very dangerous as it will invade our privacy and allow rationing by controlling what we can and cant spend our money on. This is a particular concern with talk of 'carbon credits'.

Cash is our most basic form of democracy and should always be kept as an option.

ELECTROAL REFORMATION The current First Past the Post election system is used so that the red and blue duopoly retail power by giving us the illusion of choice. We must adopted a Proportional Representation system so that EVERY vote counts and EVERY voice is listen to.
