Picture this - our beaches crowded with children and adults of all ages and all abilities, local people and tourists bringing money to our town’s businesses and stimulating new ventures. That’s my dream for the place I now call home after moving here in 2014. I work in medical research and am passionate about the NHS. I also worry about isolation within our community and am keen to support initiatives that promote togetherness and improving quality of life.

I’ve lived in Teignmouth for 33 years and always tried to keep in touch with what is happening in town. This seems to have become more and moredifficult over the years and one of the things I want to do, as a Councillor, is find better ways to get information flowing to and from the Council and itsparishioners. It’s vital, if we are to represent your views, that you engage with us, your representatives. As a town, we have some tough decisions to take on re: housing, parking, accessibility (technological and transport routes), provision of facilities for young and old, health provision, to name a few. I hope, with my strong academic and workplace background, that I will be able to put my experience and knowledge to good use to help Teignmouth move forward in these changing times.

Civic pride is important and contributes to a safe and tidy town. I was impressed with the dedication councillors put into our town environment and agreed to stand for the new Rowdens Ward. The local issues I consider important are:- Promoting amodern Teignmouth Health Centre; our Primary Health Care is at risk. Reducing traffic speed and emissions; putting safety first. Giving the community a say on planning; redeveloping derelict sites for homes before taking more bites out of the countryside. Improving the environment; keeping high standards for our beaches and supporting the Teign Estuary Trail which will benefit health and wellbeing, attract visitors and boost local jobs and businesses. Teignmouth is a lovely place to live but that is always a work in progress for the council with your support.
