Thank you for visiting my website.
I was truly honoured and thrilled when I was chosen as the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for the new constituency of Ealing Central and Acton. I live in the Southfield ward of Ealing, so, if elected, I will have the chance to represent my home patch in Parliament, which will be an exciting challenge.
Since I was selected in October 2006, I have been working hard to get to know the residents and to understand what matters to them. This local knowledge has helped me to focus on a number of campaigns, such as Heathrow Expansion, lack of NHS dentists across Ealing & Acton, improvements at Ealing Broadway Station and protecting the allotments in Acton.
Ealing and Acton is a diverse and complex area of London. It has a rich ethnic mix of people which makes it a lively place to live. There is a fascinating history behind so many of our streets and buildings. We have old and new architecture. We have the famous Ealing Studios and we have many wonderful green spaces to enjoy. But we also have problems. Street crime and drugs continue to affect our area, while rising unemployment has the potential to pose perhaps our biggest problem in the coming years. With many shops and businesses facing closure, our dated town centres are now in serious need of regeneration.
I believe I can make a real difference for Ealing and Acton residents. I want to be elected to Parliament because this is my community and I want to represent local people who need a strong voice to champion their interests. I am not in politics to get rich or to line my own pockets. I want to reassure all the residents in Ealing Central & Acton that, if elected as your MP, I will publish all my expenses so you can see what I have claimed and what I am paid. In addition, I pledge not to claim any costs for my property. I will remember at all times that it is your hard earned money, not mine.
I look forward, if given the chance, to speaking up and speaking out for Ealing and Acton. It is, after all, my home too. My ambition is to serve this community and to represent it in Parliament to the very best of my abilities.
