I have been the County Councillor for Malvern Link since 2021.

Full statement

I am the current Chair of the Worcestershire County Council Economy Overview and Scrutiny Board.

I have acted to reduce speeding in both rural and urban parts of Malvern Link in by commissioning speed surveys, working with Parish Councils and funding vehicle activated speed signs.

I have supported projects to improve well being and opportunity; funding the purchase of new books for St Matthias School, and replacing meal preparation equipment, outdoor furniture and providing the building for a secondhand uniform store. I have supported inclusive sports clubs, community fridges, toddler groups.

I am specially interested in ensuring that our digital infrastructure is great across the division, as this is absolutely essential for our economy following the shift to working from home. As well as the leaps the team at county hall have made to improve speeds, I have also helped to locate mobile phone mast locations in rural divisions and funded boosters for local community spaces like Space and Suckley Playing Fields.

I have implemented small flood defence schemes, planted trees, installed new benches, wildflower planting, created points for pushchair and disabled access.

Link is a vibrant and diverse division and I look forward to continue to help and engage all to realise their ambitions within this great place.
