I work as a freelance book designer and have lived on Uplands Road since 2010 and have raised my children here. I love living in Stroud and being a part of the Uplands community. I'm passionate about providing children and young people a sustainable, happy and bright future, particularly given the difficulties living though a pandemic and facing the climate and ecological crisis has presented to the younger generation. I'm also really interested in addressing the road safety and traffic problems in Stroud and hope to help work towards making the town a more pleasurable and safe place for cyclists and pedestrians.
