I express my gratitude to all residents within my ward, it has been a joy to represent and support you throughout the year and stand firmly for what is right at County Hall, I will continue to beat the drum for our spectacular part of Northumberland representing the community within Amble, Hauxley and North Broomhill and all the beautiful surrounding areas.
This has been an enormously fulfilling experience, thank you everyone for the amazing support that you continue to provide.
2025 can be a year of positivity and progress, we can achieve this only with your support.
Please continue to contact me directly via phone, email or social media. I will continue to the best of my ability dealing with the individual casework raised, always helping and listening to local residents.
We have a great sense of community. I care strongly about our local area and the services provided, that you and I use, so it’s important we get the best for us all.
I am honoured to be selected as the Labour candidate for the new Amble and Hauxley ward in the upcoming May election. It is a privilege representing my home town Amble and Hauxley village. I will strive to represent all within this new ward, I hope to earn your support and am looking forward to working with all community groups, councillors and residents in 2025.

In response to requests I state below the latest regarding the Coble Quay footpath closure at the harbour which has been closed for such a long time. I have to say I am disappointed by how long it has taken to get to this point.
“The County Council remains in negotiation with Amble Marina regarding proposals which would enable the repairs to be undertaken to the Coble Quay walkway and the reopening of the circular path to the public, while also facilitating the reopening of the unsurfaced parking area for public use. Work is currently being undertaken by NCC to prepare a new revised proposal for consideration by Amble Marina.
“The Council will update stakeholders and the general public of the outcome of negotiations as and when the process has been concluded and an agreement reached.”
I am aware of encroaching vegetation along Rotary Way and am trying to get this cut back, the particular issue is with gorse bushes making it difficult for walkers and cyclists.
I am still engaged in discussions re a safe crossing point on the A1068 in the Wynd area.
