Kenley
  • Councillors

I have lived in Kenley for the past fourteen years and have been a Kenley Councillor since 2022. Kenley is a beautiful and special place, and one I know well — I regularly walk the family dog through its green spaces and feel proud to call it home.

I am committed to representing residents and championing our local area. I work closely with residents, community groups, council officers and external partners to address the issues that matter most to our community and to safeguard Kenley’s unique character and environment. I advocate for residents on council matters, campaign for improved transport connections, and raise important local concerns with the council and relevant agencies.

I have facilitated key improvements for Kenley residents, including a new zebra crossing over the A22, a bus service to ‘upper’ Kenley, action on flooding hotspots, and championing play for younger residents

Good local decision-making begins with listening. I strive to be accessible, responsive, and practical in my approach, ensuring that residents’ voices are clearly heard and respected.

In my profession, I work within the geographic information industry, using spatial data for better decision making.
