Dear Castleton residents
I have lived in Castleton for 11 years and am a resident at Chamber House Drive.
I am a member of the governing body at Mathew Moss High School, which is my way of serving the local community and striving for better education.
I hold a Masters degree in Economics and run my own retail company.
I believe I can use my professional and financial abilities for the betterment of the whole community.
I strongly believe that Rochdale need professional and experienced people to run the council efficiently, so that the up and coming challenges can be tackled in a way which will limit adverse effects caused by central government cuts.
I am positive that if elected my professional skills and community concerns would contribute positively to Rochdale council facing these challenges and help safeguard the progress of the community.
With your vote I hope to be given the opportunity to serve my community and utilise all my abilities to make a safer, cleaner, greener and stronger place for us all.
