I am a Councillor for West Ward and a member of both the F&GP and Staffing committees and as such I will play as full a part as I can whilst I am serving on the Council.

I have lived in Ilfracombe for nearly 30 years and recently retired from a career in IT. I have volunteered for a number of community ventures and activities in town, mostly under the auspices of Trans-Send and Greener Ilfracombe. I am an occasional volunteer at Transform for Work, a partnership which continues the community development activities established locally by the ‘Transform’ Neighbourhood Management Programme. I also volunteer at the Junior School, helping children with maths and reading.

I think Ilfracombe has a real vibrancy but there are still things that need attention, e.g. we need a better strategy for managing our green spaces, the Tyrrell hospital questions resolved as soon as possible. As a Councillor I hope to make a useful contribution to these debates and to the continued development of our town.
