I have lived in Uckfield with my wife for nearly 38 years; our two daughters ‘flew the nest’ some years ago.  To me, Uckfield and its surrounding area are a great place to live.

I run my own business in Uckfield, and I am very much in touch with local businesses as an active member of Uckfield Chamber of Commerce.  This keeps me in frequent contact with the businesses in the town and the local villages.

I have lived in Uckfield with my wife for nearly 38 years; our two daughters ‘flew the nest’ some years ago.  To me, Uckfield and its surrounding area are a great place to live. As your County Councillor, I will continue to listen to you, represent you and work for you.  I work directly with many residents on matters that are important to them and their families, including road repairs and maintenance, Blue Badge permits, school places, social care for adults and children and lobbying for road safety measures and speed limit reductions. If re-elected, I will continue to support residents, community groups and businesses. I will represent your views on the many issues that are important to us, including protecting our environment for future generations and campaigning for road safety and appropriate speed limit measures. I run my own business in Uckfield, and I am very much in touch with local businesses as an active member of Uckfield Chamber of Commerce.  This keeps me in frequent contact with the businesses in the town and the local villages. I hope I can count on your support on 7th May.
