I've lived in the area since 2000, have represented Dursley on the district council since 2012 and joined the town council in 2021.I'm chair of the GL11 community hub that provides support to many Dursley residents, and I'm also a founder member of Dursley After Hours which aims to bring free live performances to the unique open space of the town marketplace. Dursley is a wonderful town to live in, it's changed quite a bit since I moved here but it remains a welcoming and down to earth community.
