I'm standing for Wiltshire Council and Chippenham Town Council because I care about community values and I genuinely enjoy helping people.

Full statement

Being a councillor isn't just about attending meetings, a big part of the role is casework.
It's about speaking with residents, finding out local issues and helping to resolve problems.
This is what I really enjoy doing and I hope I'll get the opportunity to fullfill this role for the residents of Hardens and Central.

I care about residents having access to good facilities, inclusivity and accessibility for those with disabilities and their carers, the arts, the environment and local business.

If elected I will:

➡️ Continue to oppose the 7500 house development in the Avon and Marden Valley and protect our valuable green spaces

➡️ Work to revitalise our high street, welcoming more independent, creative and eco-conscious businesses into the town and encourage and promote more events, exhibitions, live music and performance.

➡️ Chippenham is a historic market town and I want to bring that status back. We have a great pedestrianised high street and it's currently under utalised, so I'd want to work with local producers, craftspeople and artisans from across Wiltshire to create a real destination street market.

➡️ Continue to organise regular litter picks in Chippenham as I take pride in my town and my community, but I want to see provision for more bins/recycling bins and will continue to work hard to keep our town clean, safe and welcoming.
