As we approach the Local Elections on the 6th May, I want to tell you the reasons why I'm standing and why I'd really like you to vote for me to become your local Maidstone Borough Councillor.

Full statement

-I will stand for you, the residents, and for the Low Weald and it's wildlife. -I will always stand firm against the proposal for building 2,000 houses in Marden. -I am passionate about preventing over-development; our unique villages must ONLY have suitable sustainable growth of an appropriate scale. Only in this way will village characteristics and the beautiful landscape of the Low Weald remain. -Our Low Weald wildlife and countryside is diverse and irreplaceable. I will seek to preserve and enhance it. -I will be a vocal champion for the spending of Section 106 and CIL money that has been accumulated by our villages due to housebuilding and ensure that this money is spent to improve facilities. -The Low Weald is prone to flooding, more so than other areas in the Borough. This is something that I will continually highlight when decisions that affect our ward are being made. -I will remain a spokesperson for you all to make sure that your opinions are heard at Borough Level.

It would be my absolute pleasure and privilege to represent the views of Marden, Yalding, Nettlestead, Collier Street, Laddingford, Chainhurst and Benover residents as your councillor at Maidstone Borough Council.
