Why I'm standing

I believe I have a lot to contribute.

About me

I have local knowledge, experience and skills that I would like to use for the good of our environment. These have been hard earned by over 20 years policing and 15 years in local government.

My priorities
  1. Build a good working relationship with my fellow councillors and staff.
  2. Find out and understand how the rates are being spent.
  3. Listen and learn.
