BENENDEN – CRANBROOK – FRITTENDEN – GOUDHURST – HAWKHURST – SANDHURST - SISSINGHURST Bringing experience, expertise, and working knowledge of living here to the whole division of Cranbrook. Former Cabinet member for Environmental Services, I have been a key part of restoring and securing Council finances, seeking out infrastructure solutions for Hawkhurst and Sandhurst, tackling crime, helping those in need, and seizing opportunities to revive Tunbridge Wells town centre and, importantly, our rural areas with work in the Neighbourhood Development groups. There are a wide range of projects that I have in the pipeline for our area that will come into effect over the next few years and I can't wait to see them into fruition.
