I have worked in public service now for over twenty years, as both a Council Leader and charity trustee. I am standing for Mansfield North and Woodhouse in order to better serve our community.

I have been chair of the Covid Recovery Committee for a year now and have admired the work and dedication put in by both the NHS and voluntary sector to enable us to lead the world in our Covid vaccination program. I hope I have played some small part in that. If elected, my aim is to ensure we continue to make forward strides by producing an equally impressive economic recovery. We cannot risk having Mansfield left behind. That’s why we need a team of experienced and dedicated public servants to work throughout our district. Ben and I make a strong team, our experiences are different yet complementary. Together we will ensure Mansfield Woodhouse is at the forefront of every County agenda. Mansfield is changing. We need to make sure it continues to change for the better.

I care about the education our children receive, protecting our health service, and ensuring our heritage and green spaces are preserved and improved for future generations to enjoy.

I am a writer and historian and a Heritage Champion for “English Heritage”.
