Hello everyone - more about me…

🏡 I’ve lived in our area for 14 years with my family – hubby and four children in local schools, and of course not forgetting the dog!

💼 By profession, I trained as a Chartered Surveyor, which gives me a technical background to support residents across a wide range of issues.

Full statement

Over the past three years as a Waverley Borough Councillor, I have had the privilege of serving residents across our villages:

• lead Waverley’s Conservative Group
• Chair Waverley Council’s scrutiny committee
• Bramley Parish Council Chair
• Alongside my most important job, being a mum of four.

📨 In my day job, I work for Sir Jeremy Hunt, so I am very well acquainted with tackling local issues right across our area - from roads and infrastructure to planning and public services.

⚖️ I have also been proud to co-lead the battle for justice for residents unfairly hit by huge householder CIL bills, standing up for homeowners simply wanted to improve their homes and were caught unfairly by legislation.

⛽️Bramley Fuel Leak caused huge issues for residents across wider community and I was proud to lead the response to it on behalf of my community.

💧 I’ve also spent a huge amount of time battling Thames Water on sewage capacity, flooding resilience and infrastructure failings, pushing for real investment and practical solutions for communities.

💙 USING MY PASSIONS TO DELIVER FOR OUR AREA

🏘️ Sorting out our chaotic planning system so development happens in the right place — with roads, schools, GP capacity and other infrastructure actually delivered alongside it

💷 Continuing the fight to cut council waste and deliver value for taxpayers

💧 Holding Thames Water and other utilities to account when local infrastructure fails

🌿 Improving everyday life for everyone across our villages

I work relentlessly hard for the communities I represent, and I care deeply about protecting and improving the place we all call home.

Alongside my excellent co-candidate Cllr Kevin Deanus I look forward to speaking with many of you as possible over the coming weeks.
