I have lived in Newcastle for 40 years, went to school at Hassell Street in Town, worked at the local fire station, and have previously been a councillor.

My wife works at our hospital and my children go to school here.

I have spent my entire adult life in public service.

Our town centre is declining, and our council is dysfunctional under the Reform administration, so I've decided to put myself forward for residents to have an alternative to the chaos and decline, someone who will fight to protect our green spaces and environment, and for people of all ages to feel safe in our wonderful town.
