Anglesey Ward and Association Officer

As a resident of Anglesey for over 40 years I care about the community, services and people at the heart of this ward. I will work hard to put your needs first, to get you the best deal and to put the needs of Anglesey at the top of Gosport Borough Councils agenda. With your support we can improve the lives of all who live here.

As an Engineer I have had to analyse and find solutions to all manner of problems, which I believe would help me in trying to resolve problems for the constituents of Anglesey.   

Email updates on a non-party political way are how I keep residents updated on local issues and community events. If you wish to join the existing 400 residents, please email me.

My personal beliefs:

• Lifelong Conservative supporter.
• “Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools”
• A large dose of “common sense” is needed in public life, especially Health and Safety.
• Bureaucracy and “targets” need to be challenged and reduced.
• “Managing money” is not rocket science and “cost savings” should be a way of life.

Council Business:

• Political correctness has gone too far.
• Immigration needs to be controlled
• Fully supportive of BREXIT
• Negative campaigning is not helpful and turns off voters from engaging in politics, whether local or national.
• I entered politics to help the community I live in.
