After a career in technical writing, I moved to Spencers Wood in 2012, to a house which is in Swallowfield ward. I wrote part of the history of Spencers Wood published in 2016 and am now secretary of the Shinfield Local History Society. I deplore the unequal distribution of new housing over the borough and the overdevelopment of Shinfield and the surrounding area. I am opposed to the Hall Farm development on grounds of location, scale and propensity to flood. I wish to see green space maintained between Shinfield, Spencers Wood and Swallowfield.

My wife Pippa and I have lived in Swallowfield for 36 years. We raised three daughters here who have now flown the nest.
I have had the privilege of being your representative at Wokingham Borough Council since 2005 and would be grateful for your support in the upcoming election, so that I can continue to represent our villages.
I am a firm believer in working with you all as a team. We have achieved a great deal together already. Let’s continue to do so.
Recent planning appeal and planning application outcomes have shown that we must continue to fight for the right outcomes for our area.
With you and the Parish Council, I continue to work hard to combat and resist inappropriate housing development.
I have successfully campaigned for the reinstatement of the No7 bus which had been withdrawn by Reading buses leaving our villages without a bus service.
As this is used by many to go to their place of work or to travel to the medical practice and other purposes, I am therefore pleased that we have been able to reinstate the service whilst we review alternative longer-term options.
I am always pleased to hear from residents, please contact me to share your views or if you need any help.
