I believe in a thriving Wadhurst, something that’s all too easy to take for granted in the difficult times we live in.

I want to see the Parish Council serve the needs of all those who live in Wadhurst, whether they have lived here as long as I have or whether they’re still too young to vote.  Ours should be a council that represents everyone.

To do that we need to make sure that the Parish Council is approachable, that it listens to your concerns, and acts on them.  I will help ensure that we communicate as clearly as possible whether it be through notice boards, our website or newer services like Twitter.

I am a member of Wealden Wholefoods, also the Wadhurst District Business Association and am actively involved with local sport.

I bring to the Parish council considerable experience gained in management consultancy and in government service, including a spell at the Treasury and for the last 11 years I have served on the Parish Council.

I would be most grateful for your vote
