As an Isle of Wight born and bred citizen, concern for all aspects of the Island is an instinctive priority for me. As a resident of Haylands I can use my knowledge of planning and finance to ensure that this ward is well served and supported. I sit on two national NGO forums, one directly with the Government Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the other with the Office for Nuclear Regulation. I am a professional musician and a volunteer at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
