I am delighted to have been chosen as the Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate for West Dorset should there be an early General Election.

Recently I have been involved with campaigns to save our local Youth Centres, maintain rural bus services, keep smaller local libraries and stop our countryside from being overdeveloped!  I also led the Lib Dems local pro-Remain campaign in the EU Referendum.

Currently I am Chair of the Dorchester Transport & Environment Plan working group, the Dorchester Heritage Committee and WDDC’s Audit Committee.  I have been a Dorset County Councillor since 2013, a West Dorset District Councillor since 2003 and a Dorchester Town Councillor since 1999, and was Mayor of Dorchester in 2012-13.

I live in Dorchester with my partner, Mel Lane, and when he’s not at university our son, James.

I believe very strongly that austerity in the UK has gone too far and that the cuts we are still seeing in local public services are unnecessary and unacceptable.  I also firmly want to see a second referendum on any Brexit deal before it is agreed to by the Government.
