I have lived in the local area for the past 41 years, including the last 13 years in Selsdon, where I live with my partner and our two children.

Full statement

I have seen first-hand the decline of our local communities and understand how poor decisions made by Labour and the Conservatives have affected everyday life for residents.

For too long, people have felt ignored while businesses have been overtaxed, councils mismanaged, and communities allowed to deteriorate. I believe local people deserve to have their voices heard and their concerns properly represented.

I want to help return power to residents by standing up for the issues that affect their day-to-day lives – from council accountability and housing to local services, community safety, and fairness. My goal is to restore pride in our area, support local businesses, and ensure decisions are made with honesty, transparency, and common sense.

Reform offers a real alternative to the failed politics of the past, putting local people first and delivering the change our community and country needs.
