As a Town Councillor for St Ives representing the St Ives East, Carbis Bay, and Lelant division as well as being Mayor of St Ives since May 2023, I am committed to representing our community’s interests, getting things done, and working toward a brighter future.
The best way for me to do that is to put myself forward and represent you on Cornwall Council.
I am an Independent Councillor free from any party politics hindering me from being able to do the right thing for the communities of St Ives East, Carbis Bay and Lelant.
Take action to deliver more affordable homes for local people. Stop change of use from housing to holiday lets.
Better parking deals for residents. Better bus services. Invest in pedestrian and cycling safety.
Safeguard our stunning landscapes. Cleaner oceans and beaches. Dog mess action. Help tourism become more sustainable.
Urgent action to improve local mobile phone connection. Better faster fibre/wifi.
Championing local shops, hospitality and tourism to help our community thrive.
It is all very well me putting my ideas forward but this early in the campaign I want to listen to you and get your ideas.
So please get in touch with me by filling out the form below and letting me know how we can make our town a better place to live, work, play and be in.
To finish with I thought I would properly introduce myself to you. I have lived in St Ives since 1976. I wasn’t born here but I did grow up here. I have a wife and children. Having lived and worked all over the parish, I know this is one of the best places in the world to be.
Most days during the week you will find me in St Ives, as I work at Meor Design in Fore Street, and at the weekend if duties, responsibilities, and conditions allow I’ll be in the sea at Porthmeor.
I love my home town and to be able to represent it and the community at Cornwall Council is an opportunity I would love to have.
If you do, fill out the form below and join my mailing list.
Being an Independent Councillor means I don’t have the backing afforded to candidates of Political Party’s. I will be relying on family and friends helping me to campaign and win this seat. If you would like to help too we would love to have you onboard. Time, ideas, space for a campaign board, a window sticker, or any other support you can offer will be most welcome. Please click the button below to get in touch.
I look forward to hearing from you.
