I moved from Somerset over 30 years ago and I’m married with 3 grown up children. I work nights in a warehouse at Emersons Green so will be around during the day to speak to residents.
I am currently chair of the local Lib Dem branch and have been a parish councillor for the past 8 years enjoying every minute of it.
I have been the Chair of Governors at Little Stoke Primary school and found it really rewarding supporting the children’s education.
I want to make sure all parts of Stoke Gifford get their fair share of resources from South Gloucestershire Council. I know certain parts of the area suffer from parking problems, and I want to hear from residents about current issues and what people think should happen.
We need more local facilities and amenities — such as a new Sort It Centre — to support the growing local population. We are not the poor relation to other parts of South Gloucestershire. In addition, we need to sort out the problems at the bridge at Parkway Station. The pavements are too narrow and it is time a pedestrian tunnel is provided to make it safer.
With all the house building going on locally I am campaigning to promote the development of Zero Carbon Homes in line with our Climate Emergency declaration.
Local residents in Brimsham Park, Yate, are delighted with the news that eyesore overhead pylons which dominate the area are set to be removed in 2022 - thanks to the perseverance of Mayor, Karl Tomasin and his colleagues.
