Our candidate

I grew up in Brighton and Hove and currently teach law at BHASVIC. Coming from a family of teachers I have a lifelong interest in education inspired by my mother who taught at Mile Oak Primary school for the majority of her career.

Before teaching I worked in charity law, believing that that law should be used as a social driver for positive change.

Here’s what we’ve done since May

We have reopened public toilets across the city, and are working hard to reopen more.We have CANCELLED the huge rise in parking charges in four parking zones, including the hospital.

We have restored the lifeguard service, reversing Green Party cuts, so residents can enjoy the beach in safety.

We’re holding Southern Water to account and have forced them to fund year-round water testing to ensure the sea is safe.

We’re redesigning the planned works on the seafront, to include an improved two-way cycle lane, without removing a lane of car traffic.

We took the Conservative government to the High Court to prove the practice of housing unaccompanied asylum seeking children in city hotels was unlawful.

The council acts as corporate parent for children in care. We’ve established a shadowing scheme for young people in care, so they can gain valuable work experience by accompanying councillors in their work.

We have brought forward the end of the western road bus diversion by 6 MONTHS, as it was delaying bus journeys for residents accessing the town centre.
