I have lived in Sutton for 28 years, building a small business and raising a family. Both my children were born in St Helier Hospital and educated in Sutton schools. I understand the local issues that concern you because I shop in the same shops and drive on the same roads.
A regular volunteer at St Helier Hospital, a school governor, a governor at SCOLA and a former Councillor in Sutton, I have a record of standing up for local people.
I remain determined to provide the people of Sutton with a strong voice in Westminster.

My vote on the Brexit Deal
The deal in front of us is Brexit. It’s not all immediate but it was never going to be. It’s much more than ‘Brexit in Name Only’. There is a risk in accepting this deal. I believe this is a risk worth taking. It is certainly a lower risk than not supporting the deal and seeing a second referendum or worse still, no Brexit at all.

Following calls from Conservative councillors and myself, the Council have now sought a Borough-wide injunction against traveller incursions.
Cheam Park Traveller Incursion
I am incredibly frustrated that travellers have turned up yet again in Sutton in such a short space of time. We do not yet know if this is the same people that were on Fairlands Park.
Travellers in Sutton
I have been very concerned to hear about the various reports of traveller incursions across Sutton over the past few weeks. They have been to many locations, leaving behind rubbish and waste, as well as reports of violent behaviour and criminal activity.
