I am very well known by residents in the Habberley area, living locally and having attended Wolverley First, Sion Hill Middle and Wolverley High schools.

I am currently a member of Wolverley Parish Council and have a good understanding of local government.

I have a particular interest in education and welcome the county schools review that is designed to improve the education system for all Wyre Forest pupils, including the schools in this ward.

I believe that sensible traffic-calming measures are necessary to help protect our local schoolchildren from speeding traffic.

I also want to protect the county from the threat of regional government, led by people in Birmingham.

I would bring a much-needed youthful dimension to the council and would play a strong role in the Conservative team in the ward as well as on the council.
