Born and raised in Tenterden, I have spent my life watching this beautiful town and its surrounding villages grow and change. Like many of you, I have concerns about the future—our countryside, roads, potholes, local services, and social care all need attention. That’s why you need me and Reform UK to stand up for our communities and protect what matters most.
