Full statement

With a Master’s and PhD in Environmental
Sciences and a career as an Analytical Chemist, he brings a practical, evidence-
based approach to tackling the challenges our community faces. Having lived in
Margate for almost a decade, he understands the issues affecting the residents and
am committed to making a real difference.
 
If elected as your councillor, he will focus on three key issues:
 
1. Affordable and Quality Housing – Many residents face high rents, overcrowding,
and poor housing conditions. He will push for fairer rental policies, more social
housing, and action against rogue landlords to ensure everyone has access to a safe
and decent home.
 
2. Better Local Services and Healthcare – GP shortages, long waiting times, and
underfunded social care are serious concerns. He will fight for better healthcare
access, stronger social services, and more support for elderly and vulnerable
residents to improve well-being in our community.
 
3. A Cleaner, Greener Cliftonville – Our streets, parks, and coastline deserve better
care. He will work to tackle littering, improve recycling services, and promote
sustainable transport to make Cliftonville a cleaner, healthier place to live.
 
As a Liberal Democrat, he believes in fairness, transparency, and accountability. He
will regularly engage with residents to ensure your voices shape the decisions that
affect Cliftonville. In his word, “together, we can build a stronger, fairer, and greener
community. I ask for your support in making this vision a reality.”
