Why I'm standing
I think it's time for a fresh face, fresh thinking, and especially fresh ears to help the council do better at listening to and engaging with our communities.
About me
I have 15 years of experience in dealing with clients' and customers' needs and know how to listen and fulfil their expectations – every decision I make is informed by what they tell me.
My priorities
- We need to do better at listening to and engaging with our communities.
- We need to start taking practical steps to future-proof our communities from climate change.
- We must ensure we have the infrastructure in place before we start to grow our district.
