Why I'm standing
I think that as a united community we should assert autonomy as a region as much as possible and rarely acquiesce to external control. We should guard our assets, because once given away they may never return. Rates and regulations should be implemented with better consultation, effective redress and accountability. I would like to continue giving back to the community, and hopefully helping to steer a common sense path with freedom as a guide.
About me
My entire career has involved serving the public. Relevant roles and qualifications: 40 years teaching and lecturing, qualified financial advisor, school health and safety officer, local sports council representative in London, Masters degree in Computer Science, national level qualified official in two sports, and national level qualified coach in two sports. I believe that being a politician is a duty, not a career and, above all, the role is to represent the community, not external organisations.
My priorities
- Focus on the needs of our area, not ideals.
- Transparency and accountability for rates and regulations.
- Keep government small.
