Chair of Huntly Community Board

Why I'm standing

I love Huntly and would like to see it blessed. We have so much potential as a town and would like to play a part in making this town a better place.

About me

I have the ability to keep locals informed about what is happening and help them engage with the council. I'm quick at learning new things and understanding the challenges and problems, excellent at listening and creative problem solving.

My priorities
  1. Sorting out the service request system so that locals can get issues fixed.
  2. Contractors and services provided to the town should be held to a consistently high standard.
  3. Footpaths should be high quality/useable complete and connecting places.
