I was born and raised in Crawley and went to local schools, I have lived in Pound Hill for many years and wish to give something back to my community by becoming one of our neighbourhood’s councillors. I believe that I can bring an open mind to the issues and be a friendly ear for residents in Pound Hill and Forge Wood on the local problems they face. I will continue to fight Pound Hill’s corner against any proposals for inappropriate development on Crawley’s borders at Crabbet Park which will impact on the eastern neighbourhoods. I would also be a champion for residents in Forge Wood for the proper adoption of public realm assets by the local authorities that should be responsible for them. I will support moves for Grattons Park play area to be given major investment to get brand new equipment and new flooring.
