About Me: I’m proud to serve as the Councillor for Mere Green, having been elected in 2026 at the age of 19 — the youngest councillor in Sutton Coldfield’s 500‑year history. I was born and raised in Sutton Coldfield, grew up in Mere Green, and went to school locally, so representing the community that shaped me is a genuine honour.
Because I’ve grown up here, I understand the challenges and opportunities facing young people in our area. One of my biggest priorities is making sure they have a real voice in local decision‑making. I want young people to feel heard, valued, and supported, and I’m committed to taking action that improves their opportunities, wellbeing, and sense of belonging in the community.
I’m also passionate about supporting small businesses across Mere Green and Sutton Coldfield. I know how tough the current economic climate is, and I want to work closely with local traders to help them adapt, grow, and continue contributing to the character and economy of our town.
Finally, I’m a strong supporter of our Armed Forces community. I’m committed to championing serving personnel, veterans, and their families across Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham, ensuring they receive the recognition and support they deserve.
