Kenley
Cabinet Member for Community Safety
  • Councillors

I'm local to Kenley, where I live with my wife Fiona and our two children, Chloe and Joshua. 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.
