Serving as your Borough Councillor has been immensely fulfilling. My focus has always been on the residents, addressing issues like light pollution and noise disturbances, while leading the voluntary group to improve road safety.
Collaborating with the Parish Council, I've supported efforts such as the Pembury Neighbourhood Development Plan, aimed at delivering planning infrastructure which supports our village life. Engaging with residents on crucial planning matters has been rewarding and I have enjoyed canvassing opinions both for and against. I support the need for additional housing to meet local needs whilst protecting our Green Belt.
As a member of the Climate Emergency Advisory Panel, I'm committed to finding ways to enhance our local environment for the benefit of this and our next generation.
I'm dedicated to improving support for veterans, having assisted them in various capacities and I’m also striving to assist the Borough Council to achieve the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver award.
It's been an honour to serve as your councillor, and I look forward to continuing our progress together especially with the new larger wards.
