As the newest member of Saltash Town Council, having been successful at interview for co-option less than 2 months ago, I am excited to be joining this vibrant and forward-thinking council looking to promote and invest in Saltash.
I have been living in Saltash since 2002, having moved from Kent, where much of my family remain. I enjoy returning as often as possible, to also show my continued support for the Kent Spitfires Cricket Team.
Over these years I have seen North Ward change and grow significantly and believe it is important to maintain and develop a close connection with the businesses and residents in this area with the town as whole and would look to ensure opportunities for improved transport and communication are created.
During my time in Saltash I have been lucky enough to become a Cub Scout Leader and am passionate about creating opportunities for the young people in the community.
I also work in the town and am an active member of local business networking groups and look to encourage the growth of business relationships within Saltash and the greater community, as well as to demonstrate the strength and diversity of businesses with the Town.
It would be great to see Saltash develop as a town, creating opportunities for the community in the arts, education and employment and flourish as the first town and gateway to Cornwall.
