Thanks for stopping by my page. By way of a brief introduction: I'm an Islander born and bred, went to school in Ryde and currently work as a contract lawyer. I am committed to protecting our village and enhancing its natural beauty and heritage. I have campaigned to stop overdevelopment and destruction of our green spaces and will fight to ensure that Southern Water is not allowed to pollute our beaches and waterways.

 

If elected, I am committed to collaborating with residents, local businesses, and the parish council to maintain Bembridge as an exceptional place to live, work, and enjoy. In my free time, I volunteer and serve as a trustee for a legal charity that assists individuals with debt and welfare issues.

 

Beyond politics, I have participated in various Island-wide initiatives and served as the legal representative of KILF: a multiparty campaign aimed at enhancing transport on the Island. In that capacity, I launched a Judicial Review against the government’s decision to cut support for Island Line, which ultimately helped persuade the DfT to U-turn and subsequently allocate £26 million in funding.

 

I hope to talk to as many people as possible in the coming weeks, out and about in Bembridge. But please also contact me by email, letter, WhatsApp or phone, if you would like to discuss any specific issues.

 

Some of my current concerns are:

 

1. Protecting Bembridge Primary School.

2. Holding Southern Water to account on flooding and sewage.

3. Protecting green spaces.

4. Supporting local shops & businesses.

5. Better care in the community.

6. Road closures.

 

These are not exhaustive, but an indication of my main priorities so far. Let me know your thoughts.
