What five words best describe you?
Volunteer, activist, loyal, diligent, caring.
What do you hope to achieve in your term as Councillor?
It may sound corny to some but I sincerely wish to work with our community to make things better. Together we can achieve and in these harsher economic times, with many challenges ahead, that will be a real test. Rose Hill Ward has been largely neglected for too long and the community deserves better than what they have received. You can rest assured that I will do my utmost to ensure that you are not neglected. But that means making me accountable. That means writing to me with your local area concerns. That means helping me help you.
