“I live in Shinfield Parish with my partner and work for a local IT company based in Green Park.
“For the past 18 months I’ve had the pleasure of representing Shinfield North on the Shinfield Parish Council. During that time I’ve been regularly knocking on doors asking residents about their experiences of living in the area, their thoughts on the council services being provided, and what improvements they would like to see made so that I can more fully represent their views.
“I’m active in the local community where I’ve campaigned on two important issues: for the reduction in the speed limit on residential roads from 40 mph to 30 mph and to stop the over-development of Shinfield. I’ve also petitioned the council on behalf of residents for additional street lights, to tackle fly tipping, and to stop the green spaces from disappearing in Shinfield.
“For me it’s important that our local politicians are active in our community, motivated to tackle issues which matter to us, and pro-active enough to seek out everyone’s views.”
