Your Voice, Your Community, My Commitment

"Together for Pembrey, listening, supporting, and building a stronger community for today and tomorrow"

About Your Councillor
I am genuinely very proud to serve the people of Pembrey as their County Councillor, and equally proud to represent the communities of Pembrey and Burry Port as a Town Councillor. 

My commitment is rooted in listening, supporting, and standing up for our residents with fairness and integrity. I believe that strong communities grow from trust, connection, and shared purpose, and I work tirelessly to bring people together, champion local priorities, and make sure every voice has the chance to be heard.

From tackling the everyday issues that matter most to families, to protecting and improving the places we love, my focus is always on putting Pembrey first at county level and both Pembrey and Burry Port at a local town level. I am here to represent you, to fight for the resources and opportunities our area deserves, and to ensure that together we can build a brighter, fairer future. 

Pembrey and Burry Port are more than just places, it’s our home and I am dedicated to strengthening the connections that make it such a special community to be part of. 

Whilst I cannot always guarantee to be able to help I promise that I will always get back to you, keep you updated and try to signpost you to someone who may be able to help you more.

This just a generic video from the site, will add a personal one in due course...

I try to be present at as many community events as I can because being visible, engaged, and connected is an essential part of serving our area. Reporting the events I attend is equally important, it reflects transparency and accountability. By sharing these updates, I’m able to highlight my activity across Pembrey and Burry Port (and further afield), and celebrate the incredible work of our volunteers and local organisations, ensuring that everyone involved feels their voices are being heard.

Volunteering has always been an important part of how I serve Pembrey and Burry Port. Alongside my role as your County Councillor, I’m proud to give my time to the local organisations that make a real difference in people’s lives every day. This page highlights the groups I volunteer with, the incredible work they do, and the ways you can get involved or to become involved with many other organisations that are always looking for volunteers.

Llais...Your Voice in Health and Social Care

Volunteering with Llais means a great deal to me because it gives people a genuine voice in the health and social care services they rely on. I’m proud to be part of an organisation that listens carefully to real experiences — good and bad — and makes sure that feedback reaches the decision‑makers who can improve services. What matters most to me is that Llais actively seeks out those whose voices are too often overlooked, ensuring that everyone in our communities is heard and valued. Being able to support that work, and help shape a healthier Wales that truly reflects people’s needs, is something I find incredibly rewarding.
