Born and raised locally, I have lived in the area all my life, moving to Harpole in 2015 where I now live with my partner and 2 young children. I was co-opted onto the Parish Council in January 2020. I was keen to join the Parish Council because I would like to contribute to and be an active member of the community. I think that the village faces challenges in the short to medium term, however, these will create a lot of opportunities that can be exploited. My interests lie with maintaining the village and community that we all love but also making the most of the opportunities on offer so that future generations can enjoy the village and thrive here.
