It has been my honour to serve the residents of Colney Heath and Marshalswick as their county councillor for the last four years. This is the neighbourhood I have lived in for over 20 years and have served as a Sandridge parish councillor for 14 years.
The role of a councillor should be to work with residents to improve their neighbourhood for everybody. I am particularly concerned about the environment and protecting the green spaces that have proved so valuable during the last year.

Verulamium Lake has burst its banks, flooding the public toilets, due to excessive winter rainfall.

Exceptionally high rainfall over the winter has left parks across the district with large areas still underwater - but what is being done to tackle the issue?
With the Met Office reporting regional rainfall in excess of 200 per cent of average in October and twice the normal amount in January, this resulted in saturated and water logged ground, which inevitably led to localised flooding and higher river levels.
At Verulamium Park, the River Ver breached its banks, overwhelming the capacity of the lakes, leaving footpaths unpassable and public toilets flooded.
