I have lived in Trafalgar for over 20 years and work locally. My children attended Horsham schools. I am a solicitor volunteering at Horsham Citizens Advice each week providing free employment law advice and I also help to distribute fresh food at the Horsham Community Fridge.

Therefore I well understand the challenges many people in this area face in protecting their jobs and homes, managing debts and feeding their families.  We need more affordable and environmentally friendly homes and support for those who are struggling financially.  More attention needs to be paid to our local infrastructure – roads, healthcare, schools, green spaces – particularly with the new housing developments around our town.

Horsham District Council is failing to deliver.  If elected I will consult Trafalgar residents about issues of concern to you and strongly put those to the council, to bring about changes.
