I helped people, I helped groups and I helped businesses, I never judged, I never belittled and I was always honest with my opinions on everything from bike lanes to HMOs.

Full statement

Anyone who knows me or my work knows I'm passionate about our community, whether that's by painting and cleaning play parks, litter picking, helping run and organise community events or campaigning to protect our neighbourhoods.

I love our community. I love the people in it and I believe every resident deserves someone who is willing to get their hands dirty, someone who is always there and somewhere who has shown that they're willing to put the hard work in and I hope you think I could be that person.

I've made bad choices in my past but being a councillor was never one of them which is why I'm running to be councillor for Wheatley Hills and Intake Ward, to represent the Wheatley, Wheatley Hills, Intake and Clay Lane communities.

I'm up against juggernauts - political parties across the spectrum who can rally a dozen party members to volunteer with a moment’s notice.
Candidates with financial backing from people all across the country, unions and bankers alike. I'm one person, with a self funded campaign so I likely won't reach all 5,000+ houses across the area but I will give it my best shot.

Let's keep local politics, local. Vote against party politics.
