Serving on our parish council, the Netheravon, Fittleton and Haxton Jubilee, Phoenix Hall, Working Mens Club and LINK committees as member or chair and volunteering in our library, I have learnt much of how we live and work together.

Avon Valley division is half rural village and half the military community of Larkhill Garrison. With 37 years in the Army and 43 based in Netheravon, I know much, but welcome your ideas to help us integrate as vibrant communities.

As your representative at Trowbridge, I have advised and delivered on many local issues. I will be objective, honest and persistent. Please feel free to ask. Helping those in difficulties to a resolution gets my priority. Please try me.
