“I have been highly active in my local community for many years, for example as founder/Chair of Chapelhay Community Playgarden Association and a trustee of STEPS Youth Club, roles I still hold, and initiator of the ultimately successful campaign to restore safe access to Castle Cove Beach.”
“I believe I have a strong track record of representing local residents’ interests and I am particularly proud of having secured greater support for Dorset’s Youth Clubs. It is a privilege to represent Rodwell and Wyke.”
