I am proud to stand for Hamble & Netley, a community with a strong identity, great local spirit, and a way of life worth protecting.

Like many residents, I am increasingly concerned about the pressure our area is under. Traffic along Hamble Lane continues to worsen, our roads are deteriorating, and local services such as GP surgeries and schools are struggling to keep up. Too much development is being approved without the infrastructure to support it.

I am standing to change that.

I will push for real action on traffic congestion, including improvements to key routes and junctions. I will fight for proper infrastructure funding alongside any new development, so our community is not left behind. And I will work to ensure brownfield sites are prioritised before more green space is lost.

Local people deserve a stronger voice in planning decisions. I will stand up for residents, not developers, and demand greater transparency in how decisions are made and how your council tax is spent.

I believe in practical solutions, straight talking, and being visible in the community I represent.

I am not a career politician. I am standing because I care about Hamble & Netley and want to protect it for the future.
