REASON FOR APPLYING: |
I was appointed to the Board in 2018 in order take over from a colleague. I took part in the discussions on the annual charge to be levied on Councils and helped to ensure it was restricted to a level in line with the recommendation of Maidstone Borough Council.
I live in an area that has a very complex drainage system, which feeds into the River Beult and I am very familiar with the issues involved.
