Kenley

I'm local to Kenley, where I live with my wife Fiona and our two-year-old daughter Chloe. We love Kenley and have chosen to make the local area our home for our young family. 

I’ve been a committed community activist for my entire working life. I’m proud to have spent a large amount of my career leading with lots of different groups to promote community cohesion, particularly among young people. For me, nothing is more important than building a strong, passionate community. As one of your Councillors for Kenley, that’s what you’ll get from me 24 hours a day. 

That’s what I think Kenley needs. We’re full of so many incredible local groups run by committed local people. I want to work with you all to ensure you get the support that you need from Croydon Council.
