Why I'm standing

As a keen community contributor for over 20 years, I feel the time is right to step up to a more formal role.

About me

I am very open to new and interesting ideas and contributions to our burgeoning list of major challenges. We are a diverse, educated and innovative community who I believe strongly can still find rational, resilient and sustainable solutions.

My priorities
  1. Ensure community mental health is protected and support many vulnerable people.
  2. Ensure community physical health is maintained.
  3. Ensure environmental wellbeing is responsibly protected.
