MY vision FOR A BETTER SUMMERTOWN & WALTON MANOR

1. Cut WASTE, CUT TAX

  • Council Tax keeps rising while money is poured into pet projects and bloated departments. I’ll use my business background to scrutinise every pound spent, cut unnecessary costs, and bring real value back to residents.

    Let’s stop wasting money—and start giving it back to you.

2. No More Ideology, Just Ideas

  • As an Independent, I have no party whip to follow—just residents to serve. While the major parties bicker and push national agendas, I’ll stay focused on what works here, now, for us.

    I’ll bring common-sense, locally-driven policies—not more top-down ideology from party HQs.

3. MONTHLY COUNCILS

  • Enough of being ignored. I’ll launch monthly advisory councils - both in-person and online - so residents help shape decisions before they’re made.

    But I’ll go further. For major council decisions, I’ll alert you in advance and ask for your views—and I’ll vote based on what you tell me. This is your council. You should have a say.

    You speak, I listen, we act. That’s real democracy.

4. NO MORE LTNs

  • LTNs and traffic filters are destroying local communities. They hurt small businesses, isolate the elderly and disabled, and make daily errands a nightmare—all while costing the council a fortune.

    I will oppose any expansion into Summertown and Walton Manor, and be a strong voice for those already suffering under these misguided schemes.

    Enough is enough.

5. fix what’s broken

  • It’s time to get back to basics: schools, police, healthcare, infrastructure. I’ll redirect funds from vanity projects to services that actually affect your daily life.

    Let’s fix the roads properly—prioritising potholes based on traffic, location, and safety—not political optics.

6. Promises Tracked

  • Too many councillors make big promises, win your vote—and vanish. I’ll bring in annual performance reviews, just like in the private sector, and publish the results so you know who’s doing their job.

    And I’ll go further: I’ll launch a public pledge tracker, keeping a real-time record of every councillor’s promises - including my own - so you can hold us all to account.
