I have lived in the local area with my family since 1988, so I am fully aware of the concerns that impact local residents because your issues are my issues.

Full statement

I have been self-employed for the past 38 years and am committed to the growth and vitality of our local community.

At the heart of this is my belief that we must enhance the skills of young people and create opportunities for them to be responsive to economic, social, technological, and political changes. The recent pandemic has taught us all to reconsider the way we live, work and travel.

My experience as a borough councillor serving neighbouring Park ward in Reading, from 2007 – 2011, gave me valuable awareness of environment protection, local infrastructure, supporting local businesses, improving education, and tackling anti-social behaviour.

Public service is what drives me. I am committed to helping others and standing up for the residents of Bulmershe and Whitegates.

I can only do this with your support and trust. Please contact me to share your views or if you need any help.
