County Councillor for South Caister & Bure

About

Originally from London, my parents moved to Great Yarmouth in the late 90’s, and over many years of visiting I have grown very fond of the town and surrounding villages. So much so that 8 years ago I decided to move here myself.



I have spent a large part of my career in recruitment and insurance but since moving to East Anglia I spend most of my time renovating empty properties to bring back to usable housing stock. I have also worked with the homeless prevention team here in Great Yarmouth.



Coming from a Large city I believe costal/village living is something that most people do not appreciate. Living here I have noticed there is still a massive sense of community spirit, which is why Great Yarmouth and Caister especially is now my home, and if I can give something back to the community in any way, then I will.

My Priorities

Anglian Water site odour
To monitor and hold Anglian Water accountable for any unpleasant odours that eminate from their site, and to ensure they continue to take action to reduce this smell.
Mass housebuilding
To oppose all housebuilding developments until infrastructure catches up with existing demand the Council has imposed on Caister. All housebuilding developments must come with the infrastructure first.
Anti Social Behaviour
To support Police and other authorities robustly tackle all instances of anti-social behaviour around Caister and the surrounding areas.
Caister High Street
Work with the public health, trading standards, and economic development teams to prevent the over concentration of single type businesses — such as vape shops and barbers — and push for a healthier, more diverse mix of shops and services that genuinely support.
Cycle Lane madness
Push for transparency, accountability and tighter spending controls at Norfolk County Council, ensuring residents’ money is properly justified. The Jellicoe Road Cycle Lane scheme shows why clearer scrutiny is essential before public funds are committed.
