Letchworth is my hometown and the community that I have been active in my entire life.

Full statement

Having experienced poverty, domestic abuse, and homelessness, I understand the struggles that many in our communities face and I am dedicated to making a positive difference.

I am proud to have spent the past 4 years standing up for the Grange, Wilbury, and Norton. I have delivered on my election pledges, from delivering the long-awaited Norton Road school crossing to resolving persistent flooding on Cowslip Hill, successfully helping many families navigate the complex SEND process, and much more.

The choice at this election is clear. It will either be me or the Conservative candidate that wins in Letchworth North. That's a choice between more stagnation from the Conservative-led County Council or backing the real change that my plan will bring. The County Council needs to bring investment and quality services to our home, but that won’t happen without a change at County Hall.

Four years ago you put your trust in me to deliver for our community, now I am asking for your trust again to continue standing up for our town and to be part of a new administration that will return Hertfordshire County Council to the service of residents.
