Throughout the last 31 years, I have dealt with countless calls from residents seeking guidance or assistance, and have always endeavoured to deal with those matters promptly and efficiently. If re-elected, I pledge to continue serving you to the best of my ability.
Being a councillor is a great privilege and it has been an honour to serve you. I've worked hard, alongside Cllr Peter Hogarth MBE and Cllr Michael Gough on issues ranging from; street cleaning, safer streets, tackling speeding, litter and graffiti, to fighting to bring back the Minior Injuries Unit to Solihull Hospital and being part of the campaign to save Solihull Police station.

The previous Labour Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) first announced in 2018 that Solihull Police Station would close. The current Labour PCC then reconfirmed this intention following his 2021 estates review, and the station set to close sometime at or after autumn 2025.
