Statement to voters

Having lived in Norwich all of my life, I am proud to be involved with the Liberal Democrats and to have represented Eaton ward for the last 8 years. My work is in IT, initially in London for the BBC and a medical education company, and more recently working through my own business providing IT services to local schools and charities. Passionate about education, I have served as a primary school governor for over 10 years, and am concerned the impact of funding cuts will have on the ability of schools to provide a good level of education. I would like to see more houses being built on existing brownfield sites across the city, protecting areas such as the Yare Valley, and for developers to be held to account for failure to build. I am a regular, but often disappointed, attendee at Carrow Road, and promote and fundraise for the work of the Benjamin Foundation in helping the homeless.
