Labour

Representing everyone in Avonmouth, Shirehampton and Lawrence Weston, and a good chunk of Coombe Dingle at Bristol City Council. Please do email me images of flytipping or potholes - but make sure I know where they are. Surgeries are every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, at the JTE Hub in Shirehampton. They run from 2pm to 4pm. I also regularly attend the Lawrence Weston Neighbourhood Planning Group, which is the last Thursday of every month, at 7pm, Ambiiton House.
