  • Welcome to the site

    Welcome to my website

    It is meant to support my roles

    as a West Berkshire Cllr and Greenham Parish Cllr

  • Which party

    I started being a Cllr as an Independent, then joined the Lib Dems for a while

    I don't believe in the extremes of politics or the arguing politicians do

    I have centralist views

  • Also Greenham, which is non-political.

    I am also a Greenham Parish Councillor which is non-political.

    It overlaps on a key devlopment (Sandleford)

    I'm here to help!

Eagle Quarter Rejection

Why did I vote against the Eagle quarter development at District Planning

1) Parking was a major issue from what I saw presented. A lot of maybes about how people live were used to say why it would work. That was to big a risk to take

2) No affordable housing – Given the proposal was for 427 homes and they were all to be flats, then zero affordable homes made no sense.

3) Height. The heights and associated massing would fundamentally change the town. It did not comply with the latest NPPF and associated Model Design Code

4) Lack of community and personal space. The amount being offered was far below the required standards.

On balance the negatives outweighed the benefits offered which were speculative not guaranteed.

What to expect from me
