Welcome to my website!

Dear Resident,

It has been over three years since you elected me as your local Conservative Ward Councillor for Portswood. I am thankful to all those that voted for me in the 2008 local elections, and will do everything I can to demonstrate that you voted for the right person.

It has been an eventful year, with lots of great things going on in the Ward. Including further success at the 2011 local elections with Matthew Claisse elected as your second Conservative councillor for Portswood.
I hope to continue to work with local residents to improve the local area for the better.
My website contains all kinds of relevant information. Find out about me, catch up with my latest news, find out about local issues I am actively involved in, or my general political views. You can also find a fun image gallery and a list of upcoming events I will be attending. There is also a section on how you can join the Southampton Conservative Party team and even the Southampton Conservative Future Branch. You can also find information on my help and advice surgeries in St Deny's Portswood, including there dates and times on my events page. I have also compiled a tour of Portswood looking at some of the local of shops, music venues, pubs, places of worship, green spaces, schools and community facilities that I have been lucky enough to visit.
Finally you can find all the information you need to get in touch with me and let me know how I can help you.
Yours,
