Why I'm standing

I believe we can work better collaboratively to address complex issues that address us, acknowledge the great work many are doing and use science better to understand our diverse environment. Solutions don't come from an office, they come from being out in gumboots looking and listening. I love working with community and I want to advocate and represent you and give you a voice around the council table.

About me

I am an active member in a wide range of community groups throughout Molyneux. My most worthwhile time is spent out in the community with those that contact me with an issue and I get to learn about the places that are important to others. I can then be your voice around the table. I am committed to being your energetic and enthusiastic representative. Contact me 0274438134 if you have an issue.

My priorities
  1. Ensure staff are more transparent with work programmes so residents can understand what is planned.
  2. Require costed non-regulatory tools to be offered as options as alternatives to regulatory tools.
  3. Ensure staff actively engage better with communities.
