What do you enjoy most about serving the community: Seeing the contributions people make behind the scenes.

What is one issue that you would encourage residents to get involved in: There are some current issues I’d encourage people to get involved in (the proposed transfer of assets from Teignbridge District Council to the Town Council and the development of the Ashburton Neighbourhood Plan), but in the longer term, I would encourage residents to support some of the local projects such as the Bank Youth Project or the Swimming Pool.

A fun fact about yourself: I’m a big fan of whodunnits, especially by Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers
