Dear Friends & Colleagues

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for South Northamptonshire. I was selected to be the candidate by the local Liberal Democrat party in August 2008.

I now live in Northampton, but up until 4 years ago had lived in the constituency for 34 years. As a result I understand and share many of the concerns of local people. I love our county. The constituency extends from East and West Hunsbury and Upton in one corner to Roade, Stony Stratford, Deanshanger, Brackley, Towcester and then back to Upton. As you can see it covers a vast area. taking in some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain but the idylic 'Chocolate Box' image of a rural idyll belies some very real issue about social exclusion through a lack of services, opportunites, housing and transport. All of these are serious issues for far to many residents of the constitiuency and I shall be working hard to change that sistuation.

Please scroll down to find stories on my recent campaigns and my views on current issues of the day. Please have a look around my site and do send me an email or telephone if you have any questions or if you would like to get more involved with the Liberal Democrats in South Northamptonshire.

Thanks again for visiting. I hope to see you soon.
