Seconded across to the Western Gateway in 2021, I am the Technical Lead for the Western Gateway. I lead the team and work on region-wide transport policies and interventions including our Strategic Transport Plan, rail and freight. I am a transport planner with over 30 years of experience across a range of local authorities, from central London to York and the East Riding of Yorkshire and back south via Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire, the West of England Partnership, West of England LEP, West of England Combined Authority and most recently to the Western Gateway Sub-national Transport Body.
As a Director of TravelWatch SouthWest and the Severnside Community Rail Partnership and as a regular train user, I am committed to promoting public transport across our region.
