I was born and brought up in Yorkshire, I have lived in our ward for six years with my young family.

Full statement

I am standing in this election to help bring about change for this community. This election is about local issues that affect us all. As your Yorkshire Party councillor, I would focus on your concerns and always work for the benefit of our community.

My priorities are:

-Local spaces Community buildings, green spaces and pubs are the glue that holds our community together. As councillor I would work hard to improve funding, facilities and access to community spaces and increase support for independent local businesses.

-Local transport Introduce more bus routes to improve connections between our towns and villages, use smart tap-to-pay across West Yorkshire and develop a mass transit system for the long term Redesign problem road junctions and pinch-points to improve traffic flow for all road users and to reduce journey times.

-Housing Defend green spaces by building efficient homes on brownfield sites and unused urban spaces.

-Policing Protect our community by deploying more police officers, clamping down on burglaries, anti-social behaviour and driving offences.

I would support everyone across the ward and provide a strong voice for Calverley, Farsley, Rodley, and Woodhall.

Vote for a fresh approach.
