I'm a proud Salfordian.

Full statement

I was born and raised in Lower Broughton, and still live here today - six decades later. I’m a graduate of Salford University, with academic qualifications in environmental sciences BSc (hons) and sustainable energy technologies MSc. I have worked on environmental and energy projects across Europe. I’ve been a Green Party member for well over a decade and been the Blackfriars & Trinity candidate since 2021, and was most recently our General Election candidate for the Worsley & Eccles constituency and our Salford City Mayoral candidate in 2024.

If elected, I will protect renters’ rights in the ward and improve living conditions. I would do this by bringing all property management companies into a licensing scheme, which would hold them to a clear charter to their tenants, with a condition that those companies who are found to consistently fail to meet these standards being fined and then removed from the Approved Management list, denying them the chance to operate other buildings. I will strengthen residents-only parking permissions, to ensure the ward isn’t turned into a car park for commuters to Manchester City Centre and combine bin emptying and road sweeping for cleaner streets.
