“Lisa has so much energy and passion!” - That’s what many residents have said about me, and it’s something I bring to everything I do as your county councillor.

Full statement

Over the past four years, I’ve worked hard to get things done for our community, even with the constant challenges of red tape and limited budgets (see list below!).

I’m also known for being honest and straight-talking. I won’t make promises just to win your vote and I always stand up for what I think is best for our area.

You may know that my three priorities for this election are fixing our roads, fighting for local NHS services and tackling flooding.

But I also have specific priorities for our local area, shaped by what you’ve told me matters most:
• Better public transport options – If you don’t drive, getting around can be difficult. I want to expand services like The Robin, which offer flexible, on-demand transport for those needing to get to work, school, healthcare or social visits.

• Support for walking and cycling – While some roads are being resurfaced, our pavements are in poor condition. Many are unsafe or overgrown, making it hard to walk around our villages. I’ll get the worst pavements fixed and push for more cycle paths to make walking and cycling safer.

• “20 is plenty” in residential areas – Speeding is a big concern for many. I’ll support villages that want to introduce 20mph speed limits to help make our villages safer places to live.

I care deeply about our communities and want to keep working for you. That’s why I’m asking for your support to continue being a strong, effective voice for this area.

The Conservatives have run the County Council for 20 years. In that time our roads are in the worst state they’ve ever been, vital services aren’t performing well and council tax has gone up year after year - with little to show for it.

I believe in good services, good value for money, and common sense decision-making. If you do too, then please consider voting for me on 1st May and help bring the change we need.
