I am an East Cowes town councillor, and have been a member of the Green Party for many years, first standing in local and parliamentary elections for Ealing in 2010. I volunteer my time in a number of organisations including as a Trustee of the Quay Arts Centre in Newport. I’m a heritage professional and believe in the value of culture, and importance of heritage in our sense of place and community. Like others in the Green Party I believe that we need to make bold and brave decisions to see positive changes to our island and community.
