I am humbled and honoured to be selected as the new Thorpe Labour candidate for the next local elections.

I have been in business for over 20 years and will be looking to bring that knowledge and experience into the Council if the residents of Thorpe put their faith in me.

Southend is a wonderful town, and Thorpe a beautiful place to live; however, there remains a number of challenges that need to be resolved: the imminent transfer of the stroke unit from Southend Hospital to Basildon; drug related crime; the unnecessary demise of the high street; mental health of the young; the lack of an entrepreneurial culture in order to create jobs; to name but a few!

So there is much to do and I cannot wait to be involved.

To win Thorpe as much support as possible will be needed, and I would therefore be delighted to share the company of anybody that wishes to join the campaign!
