My professional background as a Chartered Surveyor with extensive private, local, central government and contracting experience naturally disposes me to a keen interest in the effective use of land and buildings to sustain a lifestyle and environment that accommodates everyone. I am also concerned in the evolution of health and social care in the area and the New Forest – rapid change is restructuring organisations and relationships that we have come to understand. My role at the Town and County Councils is to understand your concerns and mine and act as your spokesman to ensure our views and needs are understood and, wherever possible, reflected in the development of new relationships with the NHS and providers of Social Care Services.
