I have the ability to be an effective campaigner and am able to lead a team through an election process.

Representational & problem solving skills:

I recognise the need to identify concerns, to separate issues for attention by specific agencies and to re-direct matters when not part of my mandate, while keeping individuals up-dated on my actions. During various campaigns there were many issues on the doorstep. I took these matters to our local Labour MP and make sure the issues were resolved.

I have been involved with Labour Party over the last 18 years and I have played an active role as a member of the party in local and general election campaigns. My interest, passion and career have been supporting and maintaining the public interest. I have worked within the voluntary sector many for years and will be a strong creative and influential advocate and campaigner.

Other skills:

I apply a time scheduling system, to allow adequate background reading, preparation for written and oral interventions at committees or other scheduled meetings and to report back by phone or e-mail to those interested in development and progress of specific issues which they have mandated for my attention. My key skills are listening to people, motivating people, acting on issues and believe in action rather than words.

Personal Statement:

I believe that it is my duty to give all of my experience and knowledge back to the community from which I have benefited. I only make a promise to people which I know I am able to deliver on. I offer fair consideration and assessment to be clear in my intentions and to deliver results which justify the confidence and trust of others. My hobbies and interest are personal life, public life and then watching football, cricket and listening music.
