Welcome to our web site
Being selected as your prospective Conservative Member of Parliament was the proudest day of my life and since then I have been fighting Colchester’s corner both nationally and locally. I think Colchester is a great place to live and work but often think how much better it could be. I am working hard to tackle anti-social behaviour, fight over development and to hold the Liberal/Labour run Colchester Borough Council to account.
I hope you enjoy browsing through the site where you will be able to find out about our candidates, our campaigns and our vision for a better Colchester.
All my details are on my contacts page so please contact me if you have any issues, no matter how large or small.
