Why I'm standing
I am from Huntly and I see its potential. I believe Huntly has had a bad reputation for a long time and I want to be part of changing that narrative.
About me
I was born and raised in Huntly and now I manage Creative Huntly, along with being a trust member of the Huntly Museum. Both these projects required renovation and upgrades to existing buildings within our community, bringing old buildings back to life and giving them purpose again. I have community connections along with a passion for improving unused and unutilised spaces, which is why I feel I would make a good representative for my community.
My priorities
- Continue improving recreational spaces while ensuring their ongoing maintenance.
- Work with animal control to reduce roaming dogs and improve safety in public spaces.
- Work with police and community groups to reduce illegal dirt bike use on public roads.
