I am proud to announce that I will be standing in Cliftonville as a Green Party candidate for the KCC elections on Thursday May 1st.

Full statement

I have been working hard as a Town Councillor since 2023 to make Broadstairs a safer, kinder and cleaner town. I will be a strong voice, representing residents, Cliftonville and Thanet as we move towards an East Kent unitary authority.

Key priorities at county level include:

Key Services – Saving and expanding services, we cannot allow children’s, youth, health and care services to be cut.

Road Safety – Making our roads safer, especially for pedestrians. Expanding 20mph zones, increasing safe crossing places and slowing traffic around schools and ‘accident hotspots’ is essential given our high crash data.

Recycling, waste and rubbish – Improving access to waste and recycling for those without transport as well as the removal of rubbish along our highways.

Working toward a plastic free Thanet.

Economic Growth – Greater focus on small, medium size businesses and our town centres as they face great change, while increasing opportunities for our young to benefit from employment, further education or training.

Environment – Seek ways to enhance our open spaces, verges and streets as well as seek and implement alternatives to the use of weedkiller containing glyphosate in our communities.
