It’s a huge honour to have been elected so resoundingly to serve St Faiths as Councillor. Thank you to all the voters in St Faiths for putting their faith in me.

I’d also like to say a very big thank you the army of labour party and wider helpers who have canvassed, posted on social media and delivered enormous numbers of newsletters and leaflets throughout the year, and a thank you to all the support that I’ve received from many quarters.

And, of course, a massive thank you to Phil Munday, for doing all the hard work last year to get elected and following that up with being a dedicated, efficient and visible councillor – which has led to people wanting more.

We will be working as a team to deliver for St Faiths, so I want to reiterate Phil’s pledges last year and commit to working for a greener, fairer and more transparent Havant.
