“I have been a proud resident of Wokingham Borough since 2005. My children have grown up here, attended local schools, and enjoyed our beautiful parks. Through door-to-door conversations, I have developed a deep understanding of the issues that matter most to the residents of Bulmershe and Coronation ward.”

“1. Parking Fee Adjustments: o Advocate for the repeal of recent increments in parking fees. o Reinstate complimentary parking on Sundays and evenings to invigorate local economic vitality and bolster businesses.”

“2. Sanitation Management: o Uphold weekly refuse collection schedules to ensure communal satisfaction and ecological purity. o Prevent fly-tipping, which exacts considerable financial and environmental tolls.”

“3. Primary and Secondary School Education o Number of school places need to be increased. o Work thoroughly to increase extra-curricular and sports activities for young people.”

“ 4. Community Safety Enhancement: o Intensify collaborations with law enforcement to efficaciously address anti-social behaviour and reduce incidences of shoplifting. o Implement regulatory measures for electric scooters to safeguard pedestrian safety.”

“5. Infrastructure Investment: o Champion augmented allocations for the road maintenance budget within a Conservative council framework. o Prioritize the safety and maintenance of infrastructure, responding to resident concerns.”

“6. Sustainable Development and Environmental Stewardship: o Commit to the conservation of green areas to strike an equilibrium between urban development and ecological preservation. o Acknowledge the enduring advantages of sustainable land management on property valuations and communal well-being.”

“I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and have completed the Oxford University Executive Leadership Programme. Currently, I serve as a Human Resources Director in the telecommunications sector and am a member of the PBBC Business Council, where I support local businesses and promote bilateral trade. I am a keen golfer, love planting trees, and am a nature loving enthusiast.”

“Your vote is powerful. With your support on May 2nd, I promise to be a vigorous advocate for our community, working tirelessly to make Wokingham Borough an even better place to live, learn, work, and raise a family.”
