Let’s Get
Ashford Back On Track

I’m your Labour candidate for Ashford Central in the Kent County Council election on 1st May. As a borough councillor since 2019, I’ve delivered real results: getting the road outside New Hayesbank surgery fixed by formally challenging KCC, helping to save evening and weekend buses by writing to Stagecoach, creating safer community paths, securing funding for play areas, and proposing and helping deliver our revitalised town centre market. I’m driving the campaign to bring international rail back to Ashford and working to revitalise our town centre.

I'm Kent born and bred. My parents, an engineer and a teacher, taught me to aspire to make things better and solve problems for myself and others. They also taught me to never give up, no matter the odds. When I was growing up, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, but this didn't hold me back it only made me more determined.

I'm a problem-solver by nature. As an IT consultant and senior project manager, I've worked in high-pressure and high-stakes environments, finding solutions through collaboration, creativity, and diplomacy. I know that the challenges we face can be overcome if we work together.

Please join my supporters.

Let’s Get Ashford Back On Track with better roads and buses, more jobs, vibrant community spaces, and proper support for every child.

My Pledges To You

Four Ways I’ll Get Ashford Back On Track

BETTER ROADS & BUSES:

Demand Ashford’s fair share of the £50m pothole fund. Fight for better buses, affordable fares, extended pensioner bus pass times, and free passes for secondary students.

JOBS & OPPORTUNITIES:

Continue to drive our campaign to bring international rail back to Ashford. Champion a new mid-sized town centre multi-purpose venue, and build on our successful market expansion. All these will help deliver secure jobs.

VIBRANT COMMUNITY SPACES:

Secure funding for better facilities and green spaces across Ashford Central. Deliver safer walking routes, and advance a key community hub development we’ve been working towards.

EVERY CHILD SUPPORTED:

I’ll fight to ensure all children and young people get the proper support in and out of school they need to succeed. As someone who has dyslexia, and received support as a child, I understand how important this is.
