I have lived in Marlow for over 40 years and raised my family here, with both of my children attending local schools.

Full statement

My career began as a community pharmacist, later transitioning into the pharmaceutical industry, where I worked for many years.

In 2021, I was elected as a councillor for Marlow in the new Buckinghamshire Unitary Council. Over the past four years, I have had the privilege to represent the people of Marlow and I would very much like to continue in this role.

As a councillor, I have had the opportunity to make a tangible difference in our community. I currently chair the South West Chilterns Community Board, which brings together councillors, local organisations, and voluntary groups to address key local priorities. Since its launch in 2020, the Community board has supported 89 community projects, many of which are in Marlow and are now benefitting residents of all ages.

One of my recent initiatives, working with Cash Access UK, was to secure a new Banking Hub for Marlow. This will soon provide much-needed additional cash and banking services for residents and businesses in the local area.

Health and wellbeing are areas I am particularly passionate about. I serve on two key committees at Buckinghamshire Council: the Health and Adult Social Care Select Committee, and the Joint Health Oversight Committee for Bucks, Berks, and Oxon.

There is still much to do, and I am committed to continuing my work for Marlow.
I respectfully ask for your vote on May 1st so I can carry on serving our community.
