Basingstoke resident David is a successful entrepreneur and consultant with substantial experience in helping organisations to manage tight budgets while maintaining and improving personal outcomes.

Full statement

If elected his skills will be an asset in the face of continuing government cuts to local authority spending. In his spare time he is a trustee of StreetDoctors – a charity that teaches lifesaving skills to young people at risk of youth violence across the UK.

David is passionate about making sure that society provides the firm foundations for young people to succeed, to have good quality jobs and access to affordable homes. He is concerned about the amount of additional development in the area putting a squeeze on local infrastructure such as our schools and roads, and worries that the proposed new warehouse development will not bring good quality jobs, but instead focus on minimum wage and zero hour contracts which will not be in the interests of residents.
