"It is a privilege to serve the residents of Washington Central. Since being elected in May 2026, my primary focus has been on ensuring our ward remains a vibrant, well-maintained, and prosperous place to live and work. I am a firm believer in 'action over words,' which is why you will often find me out in the community—meeting with local business owners and residents to address the issues that matter most. My goal is to be a visible, approachable, and effective voice for our neighbourhood within the Sunderland City Council."
