As a local Cllr. it’s been important for me to get involved in key local issues. Some time ago, an outbreak of anti-social behaviour resulted in residents of Quay 2000 closing access to the walkway which so many many local residents valued. For a while, it really divided the community. I was able to work as a mediator to listen to both sides. The access is now open and although not fully resolved through planning just yet, I have worked to take the temperature out of the issue by working with Quay 2000 residents, their planning agent, planning officers and other local residents.

Along with this work I was able to get the council, through a small capital bids process, to invest in Priory Hard, to tidy up shrubbery, introduce high a capacity solar bin, replace damaged concrete and tarmac as well as mark out a hatched area in an attempt to reduce match day car parking to important access areas of the slip.
