I have lived in Brackley with my family for the past 23 years.

Full statement

I have been a Town & District Councillor representing Brackley East for the past 6 years plus a further 12 years experience as a parish councillor - six as chairman - in an adjacent county.

I have been privileged to have recently severed as Mayor of Brackley and most recently Chairman of South Northants Council. I am a Governor on the Oxfordshire University Hospitals Foundation Trustee, a Trustee of Feoffee Charity, a Trustee of Brackley Hospital Community 2020 Trust and also Chairman of the Local Alms House Trust Trustees. Holding these positions gives me unique experience to work closely with the local community.

I am passionate on supporting the needs of the local community and addressing concerns of our local residents and ensuring Brackley is a sought out place to live. I have played influential roles in bringing key infrastructure projects to the Town. I have also focused on promoting integrated healthcare being delivered to the residents of Brackley. I worked hard to successfully bring the Ability community bus service to Brackley. I have also worked tirelessly with the developers of the Brackley North Urban expansion to ensure that disruption to the lives of our local residents has been kept to a minimum and that the Developers kept to their commitments.

I am energised and ready to assist with any initiatives and projects that will make Brackley a better place and to embrace and deal with any further challenges effecting our residents. We are well positioned for a Fresh Start and Bright Future.
