I returned from New Zealand and joined the Avon and Somerset Constabulary. Having served in various roles over 30 plus years in 2008 I retired and set up a successful business. In 2019 I was elected as a Sedgemoor District Councillor and now elected as a Somerset Councillor.
My life philosophy is: “I am because we are”. Each community has unique needs. From sensible planning, investing in Somerset and tacking climate change, to supporting families, keeping the county moving and community connections. Every decision impacts you, your family and where you live.
