I am delighted to have been chosen by St Austell & Newquay Liberal Democrats to represent Roche & Bugle at this year’s Cornwall Council election. 

I have lived and worked in Cornwall for all of my life, as did both my parents. I have contacts in business and local government.

My family have been local to Cornwall for over 400 years! My Uncle, William Coppin, had a farm at Victoria near Roche.

I have been an independent town councillor for 17 years, joining The Liberal Democrats last year as their ideals closely match my own. Especially being community led. I have been a town mayor, deputy mayor and I chaired a planning committee for many years. I am a trustee of 2 charities and have been involved in many community groups.

I am standing for Cornwall Council because I want to make a difference. It horrifies me how much money has been wasted by the current Conservative control. 

If elected I will fight for:

• no more huge council tax hikes.
• Affordable housing in the right locations
• Better roads
• A cleaner environment
• Better education provision.

Please vote for me and vote for change on May 1st!
