Just under four years ago I was elected to both Isle of Wight Council and Newport & Carisbrooke Community Council.

I am standing for re-election to both councils for the new ward of Parkhurst & Hunnyhill. This extends the current Parkhurst ward southwards to Vicarage Walk and Hunnycross Way.

Because of the Covid pandemic, these are still worrying times. I shall, of course, be following the government guidance on campaigning.

I look forward to engaging with residents in the coming weeks about the issues affecting our community. Please get in touch if you have questions to ask or views to raise you can contact me.
