As your local Councillor I am always available to help community groups make our neighbourhoods a better place for everyone. In particular I have:

• Supported Parks groups protect and improve our parks and green spaces.
• Worked with local sports groups such as Henbury Football Club or the Riding School as they work with youngsters from across Henbury & Brentry.
• Helped our local Scout Troops with funding and improvements so that they can continue to provide the opportunities to explore that many of us treasure from our youth.
• Led the campaign to secure the Community Centre. I wrote the bid, argued our case and remain a trustee of the organisation.
• Supported the BS10 Parks & Planning Group as we keep an eye on developments that would impact on our area and ensure that residents are notified of impending problems.

I believe that our community has much to offer residents and is a great example of residents coming together to make things better. I will always support community groups in any way I can.
