Conservative candidate for St Paul's Cray
Conservative
I'm a lifelong local from St Paul's Cray. What I care deeply about in our community: I am focussed on local issues, reducing anti-social behaviour, protecting the wildlife, green spaces, and reducing waste. You'll often see me out and about walking my two dogs, Sid and Oreo, so do feel free to say hello if you see us.
