I am a councillor for Fulham Reach ward within the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham

I would like to it make clear that the views expressed in the threads of this blog are my own and not the official views of the Conservative Party or Hammersmith & Fulham council.

I was elected as a Conservative councillor for Fulham Reach ward in May 2006 along with my colleagues Gavin Donovan and Andy Johnson. It was a fantastic result and we defeated the then Labour leader of the council.

Fulham Reach stretches from Lillie Road in the south to Distillery lane just past Frank Banfield Park in the north, and includes Charing Cross Hospital and forms part of the new Hammersmith parliamentary constituency.

I live in the heart of the ward on Fulham Palace Road and consider it a great privilege to represent and help my neighbours and my community.

I am the Cabinet Member responsible for Residents' Services. I am also a school governor at the Bayonne Nursery.

I find the most rewarding part of being a local Councillor is being able to help residents and the local community with any issues they have - I consider it my highest priority.

Previously, I have been Conservative Future National Chairman for two years and am now on the approved parliamentary candidates list.

Outside of politics, I love football, cinema and socialising with friends.
