Safer streets.

Full statement

More jobs. A stronger economy. Better education. Improved transport. A plan for healthcare.

This is part of my comprehensive six-point plan for Durham, and it’s a plan I’ve already started to deliver.

Having been born, raised, educated, worked, and served as a local councillor in County Durham, I have learnt how to get things done effectively.

As a former Business Development Director for a County Durham-based company, I am aware of the struggles our small and medium enterprises face daily. I am committed to working with local business owners to secure their futures by developing long-term strategies that support sustainable economic growth and job creation in our community.

In 2021, I dedicated myself to transforming Whitworth Park Academy in Spennymoor from Inadequate to Good. Collaborating with the school's leadership team and academy trust, we achieved a Good rating within just two years.

As the Conservative Candidate for City of Durham, I am focused on delivering the change we desperately need through my six-point plan:

Safer Streets: Enhancing community safety through increased police presence and better support for local initiatives. More Jobs: Creating job opportunities by supporting local businesses and attracting new investments. A Stronger Economy: Developing long-term economic strategies to ensure sustainable growth and prosperity. Better Education: Continuing to improve our schools to provide quality education for our children. Improved Transport: Enhancing public transport infrastructure for better connectivity and convenience. A Plan for Healthcare: Ensuring access to high-quality healthcare services for all residents.

I look forward to meeting many of you in the coming weeks and months and working together to make these vital improvements a reality for our community.
