Biography

I am proud to serve as the Reform County Councillor for Fleetwood East. Born and educated in Blackpool, I have lived in Fleetwood for the past 35 years, where I have also owned and run local businesses.

Fleetwood has been neglected for many years by both Labour and Conservative councillors, as well as successive governments. Reform will change this, and I am committed to ensuring Fleetwood is properly represented at every level.

I also serve as a Fleetwood Town Councillor with responsibility for planning. I am visible and approachable, and can often be found at the Strawberry Gardens Pub & Bistro, where residents are always welcome to contact me.
