I moved into Woodcote in 2010 and quickly became involved with Friends of Rosebery Park, Epsom & Ewell Tree Advisory Board, and Woodcote Residents' Society.

Full statement

First elected in 2019, my focus has been on planning and environment matters sitting on these related committees and driving change for improvements to our borough while fighting to keep Epsom & Ewell a beautiful place to live and work.

Having been a borough councilor for these past 4 years the time and work required are immense but rewarding. Change is not fast and consistency with perseverance is key to achieving goals and deliverables.

Elected in 2019 I have focussed on planning and environment matters sitting on related committees. I am standing again as I know I have even more to offer having spent the last 4 years working within the local government system.

My focus will be on working to provide the right type of housing in the right place, more trees, additional hedgerows, improved usage of our parks, fewer potholes, better roads, more school places, vibrant high-street, independent retailers, better support for small businesses, and an improved sense of community.

If elected I will continue to work hard to serve my residents and community.
