I’ve lived in the Dover & Deal constituency for almost 25 years and ran my own very successful Communications Consultancy during this time.

Full statement

I’ve always been committed to serving the community. I’ve been a parish councillor for 8 years, Chair of South Kent Mind (the mental health charity) and Vice-Chair of Governors for a local secondary school. I love where I live and am involved in my local community too, currently sitting on a range of committees and campaigning locally on environmental issues.

I’ve been a vocal campaigner for the broader community of Dover & Deal too, on issues from ensuring the blood testing clinic in Victoria Hospital, Deal is reinstated, to leading the Dover & Deal Liberal Democrat campaign against the creation of an Internal Border Facility at Dover.

As a Liberal Democrat I stand for liberty, equality and community. And I believe in the worth of every individual.

My priorities, as a Liberal Democrat, are to fight for a fairer, greener and more prosperous Dover & Deal constituency for everyone. I will listen to local people and put them first. Specifically, I am campaigning for urgent action to cut the cost-of-living crisis, ensure everyone has access to see a GP and dentist, build more social houses and homes that are properly insulated, and protect our environment, including putting an end to the sewage scandal and making water companies clean up their act.

I am campaigning for a Fair Deal for all Dover and Deal residents.
