Losing Blakelaw & Cowgate by 22 votes was hard enough. What followed was abuse, vandalism & now false claims about my community involvement. The claim was later removed, post edited, & the Football Club clarified the facts. I'm sharing the posts here. It's been a difficult time for my family and me.

Wingrove House highlights a wider national challenge. Too many privately owned buildings are left vacant or neglected for years, affecting communities, businesses and local pride. After sustained engagement during my time as a councillor, progress was finally secured. More action is needed.

Last night our home was egged in what appears to be a deliberate act. Political disagreement is part of democracy, but intimidation and damage to private property are never acceptable. Most upsetting of all, my children were terrified. Police are investigating.
