I’m a local business owner, but more importantly, I’m your neighbour.

Full statement

Like many of you, I care deeply about what happens in our community, and I don’t think our area is getting the focus or representation it deserves.

For years, Eastleigh Borough Council has been dominated by one party with very little meaningful opposition. That lack of balance isn’t healthy for anyone.

As a business owner, I’m particularly concerned about the level of council debt – among the highest in the country – while residents continue to face rising council tax. Too often, large sums of public money are spent without enough scrutiny or challenge.

If you’re looking for someone who will challenge the current leadership, question how your money is spent and stand up for our community, I’d be grateful for your support.
