About

I was elected councillor on Maidstone Borough Council for Bridge Ward in 2022.

I became interested in Green politics in my teens, originally joining CND and the Green Party (or the Ecology Party as it was then called) in 1983. I have been campaigning hard on many environmental and social issues for most of my life, most recently on air pollution.

I stood in the 2010, 2017 and 2019 General Elections as the Green Party’s candidate for Maidstone and the Weald (plus 2015 in Canterbury). I have been the party’s spokesperson on health and on their Executive Committee as Policy Development Coordinator. 

I spent most of my career in the NHS firstly as a nurse, then manager and finally as a director; I now work in academia and consultancy.

I am 56, married to Dawn and we live in central Maidstone.
