Our Plan

I am already working on a plan to make our part of the Island a better place to live work and visit...

  • Support local schools

    As a father of two young children and a former school governor, I am serious about improving Island education. That's why I introduced fellow primary school parents to the Education Secretary Gillian Keegan MP so they could raise their concerns direct with Government.

  • Tackle anti-social behaviour

    Working with local police, I secured a special grant from the Police and Crime Commissioner which has enabled a new sports programme in Ryde to divert young people away from crime.

  • Deliver affordable homes

    I have been leading calls for more genuinely affordable housing for Islanders including affordable rental homes. We secured £40m in the Council’s Budget and published a 5-point action plan for delivery.

  • Improve community healthcare

    As an advisor to a national nursing charity I work professionally alongside the NHS and care providers every day. I have helped secure better care and support for people in their own homes, including here on the Island.

  • Promote business and jobs

    Business investment is key to growing the Island’s economy and creating new jobs and opportunities, particularly for young people and families. I am already supporting our East Wight tourism sector and promoting the Island nationally as a place for businesses and individuals to invest in.
