My front-line role
I am the Conservative County Councillor for Berkhamsted. The ‘Your Community’ section provides local service information, news, events and contacts about the area. Click below for more information:
I represent the interests of the 17,000 residents of Berkhamsted. I am also a town councillor on Berkhamsted Town Council and a borough councillor on Dacorum Borough Council. I also work closely with our Member of Parliament, David Gauke.
Residents who wish to raise any issue with me are welcome to do so at any time, whether by e-mail, letter or telephone. I will always deal promptly with casework issues.
As is the case with every county councillor, I have a locality budget of £10,000 a year to spend on community projects in the town. Follow the links for more details of the scheme and details of applications I have previously agreed and declined.
