About me

I am a previous Deputy Mayor and Town Cllr of Sheringham, a Town Councillor and your current District Councillor and the Liberal Democrats candidate for NNDC in the up and coming 2023 local elections. I am passionate about local democracy and through local representation, ensuring local issues, needs and values take priority over party politics. Through collaboration I work hard to connect and represent our communities through proactive support and being a voice for the town. I believe Sheringham is a unique and special place to live and we are privileged to do so. Consequently, I am determined through my work representing you, to help preserve that special quality and our incredible environment but at the same time, ensure we remain vibrant, forward looking, sustainable and connected to Norfolk and beyond.

I am actively involved and lead in local and county organisations which support the vulnerable, improve connectivity in the community and the quality of life  in the town, our local economy and representing Sheringham’s needs and priorities;
