Abbey Meads Ward:

I have represented the Abbey Meads ward since it was created in 2000, during which time I have been re-elected with an increasing majorities on two occassions. During my time as a Councillor I have led a number of successful local campaigns:

• Securing PS7 (Oakhurst) as a Swindon Borough Council community school
• Saving Junction 6a
• Securing the Blunsdon Arms pub over McDonalds and KFC in Ash Brake
• Saving the Abbey Stadium / Swindon Speedway
• Securing the David Lloyd Leisure Facility
• Expanding School Primary School places
• Securing the forthcoming Marks & Spencers at the Northern Orbital
• Bringing developers to account for failing to deliver on their glossy sales brochures

I have always worked tirelessly for fellow local residents whether it is dealing with individual case work, or on any major issue that has impacted on our area.

As a Councillor I have a 100% attendance record and I have never claimed a penny in expenses.

Swindon Borough Council:

I have held various senior roles including from May 2003 through to December 2008 on Swindon Council I was the Lead Member for Leisure, Recreation & Culture on Swindon Borough Council. My main achievements included:

• Delivered the new Central Library on time and on budget
• Improved Leisure facilities in particular at the Link, Oasis, Highworth and Dorcan
• Set up the successful Sports and Arts Forums
• Delivered improvements to STEAM museum, which saw increased visitor figures

Parliamentary Candidate:

I am the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for North Swindon. At the last General Election I cut the Labour majority from 8100 to 2500, which was one of the biggest swings in the country.

As a local resident I will always do everything I can to deliver the very best for our local area, no excuses.
