Since first being elected as a Councillor in 2019, I have developed a passion for our District.

Full statement

I have worked tirelessly to represent our residents, businesses and stakeholders at a local and National level.

Most notably, I became leader of the Council in May, the first women and youngest ever leader of RDC, and instantly took the fight to Government to challenge their ridiculous housing targets. I am prepared to defend our Green Belt with everything I have. I have been consistent with my views and my approach.

But being a Cllr isn’t just about the big things, it’s arguably just as important dealing with the case work, and helping residents with the things that matter most, be it a missed bin collection, or a major housing issue, I have proven consistently I will help, even when it’s not in my remit to do so.

I have diarised my journey on Facebook through the years, so that you can see I woke all year round, year in, year out - not just when there is an election.

I take the party out of politics and just work for the residents I represent, and have done so this year in collaboration with two Independant groups, for the good our district.
