On May 5th 2011, I was elected as your District Councillor for the Great and Little Oakley ward.
Many thanks to all those that supported me.
You can follow me on Facebook. or on Twitter. See Contact page for links.

I am keen to protect the rural identity of our villages and ensure that local focal points such as pubs, shops, schools and buildings of interest are retained for the community.

I have previously participated in successful campaigns to re-open Ye Olde Cherry Tree in Little Oakley (see Little Oakley: Closed pub 'had too few customers' and Tendring: Preserve our village pubs! ) and to oppose a planning application to demolish the former village school in Little Oakley where it was due to be replaced by new houses.

It is important that your concerns about services and facilities in Harwich are represented as these are important to residents in our community.

We need to ensure that the Fryatt Hospital is fully utilised for the benefit of local people. We also need to ensure that local facilities are fully accessible to the elderly and disabled.

If you wish to bring issues of importance to my attention then please contact me and let me know. That way I will be able to focus on what is most important to you.
