My Priorities
I'm dedicated to tackling the key challenges our community faces—from addressing the NHS crisis to making sure every child gets the education they deserve. I'm working to strengthen local services, safeguard our environment, and support those most affected by the cost-of-living crisis. Together, we can build a brighter future for Mid Dorset and North Poole.
