I’ve lived in Teignmouth for 33 years and always tried to keep in touch with what is happening in town.  This seems to have become more and more difficult over the years and one of the things I want to do, as a Councillor, is find better ways to get information flowing to and from the Council and its parishioners. It’s vital, if we are to represent your views, that you engage with us, your representatives.  As a town, we have some tough decisions to take on re: housing, parking, accessibility (technological and transport routes), provision of facilities for young and old, health provision, to name a few.  I hope, with my strong academic and workplace background, that I will be able to put my experience and knowledge to good use to help Teignmouth move forward in these changing times.
