To the Residents of Amport, Grateley, Monxton and Quarley,
After considerable thought, I have come to the conclusion that I can better serve your local needs as an Independent Councillor on the TVBC rather than as a representative of the Conservative Party.  The reason for this are that as an Independent, I will no longer be constrained by local or national party policy or allegiances and can therefore concentrate on what is best for the people I represent at a local level.  I appreciate that many of you may have voted for me because I stood as a Conservative candidate and may feel betrayed by my decision but I can assure you that this change will only mean that I can better represent your interests on the Test Valley Borough Council
