St Peter's Parish has been my home for the past 18 years so, naturally, I care very much about what happens here.

Full statement

I have been one of your parish councillors since 2019.

When the pandemic struck I was active in the St Peter's Coronavirus Support Group helping many of our elderly and vulnerable residents during lockdown. I've also organised the regular foodbank collections that have taken place across St Peter's over the last two years.

St Peter's and Worcester are great places to live and they could be even better. I'd like to encourage more small and medium sized businesses to thrive here. We need more affordable homes, both to buy and to rent, but we must protect our green spaces. More investment is needed in our pedway network to make it easier to choose alternatives to the car, such as walking and cycling, for travel around Worcester and better public transport for those who can't.

I will work with others who share my vision of a cleaner, greener, fairer and more prosperous Worcester while seeking to represent the interests of St Peter's at the Guildhall.
