I have lived in Dedham for ten years, having moved from Kent where I was a Parish Councillor for seven years.

I am particularly interested in the conservation of old buildings and the countryside along with the promoting of affordable housing within our community.  I take a keen interest in Dedham Primary School where I have two grandchildren.

My responsibilities on the Parish Council are Street Lighting and Public Transport (including Bus Shelters).  I am one of the Parish Council's representatives on the Dedham Sports and Social Club Committee.

I enjoy cooking, reading, bird-watching and keeping Siamese cats.
