I want people to feel safe in their homes, in their parks, on their roads and across the whole community.

For the last ten years I have campaigned to protect the local facilities that we enjoy. I may not have won every fight but I have always worked hard and had some notable successes, such as:

In order to cut congestion in Bristol we need to improve public transport and reduce commuter traffic on our roads. 

Last year 52% of the British people, including myself, voted to leave the European Union and leave it we shall. I personally found the whole campaign deeply dividing and unpleasant and the language by both sides was appalling.

In my opinion one of the biggest challenges that our communities face arises the housing development in South Glos. In total over 8000 homes are planned on the fringes of North Bristol.

We all love our local high streets but many of these local shopping centres are facing stiff competition both from the internet but also larger retail precincts like the Mall.
