"I fell in love with Sidmouth as a child and I'm so proud to have been elected to serve Sidmouth Town on East Devon District Council.
"For many years, my parents visited our beautiful town and now they have settled here. I call it home. I have lived in Sidmouth for a number of years and love the town and its people.
"Jacob's Ladder has always been my oasis and a place of happy memories, particularly playing cricket on the beach with my family. I will do everything I can to protect our stunning coastline and beautiful countryside.
"Knocking on doors and speaking to local people, I know many share my concerns about the future of our seafront, the huge hike in the cost of parking, the impact of the local housing plan and the cost of living.
"My promise to you is simple - I'll work hard to serve you, represent the values of our town, and make sure every decision our council makes is value for money for taxpayers.
"Thank you for putting your faith in me and thank you to everyone who helped with the campaign. I can't wait to get started."
