Simon has lived in Horsham for most of his life and has always taken a keen interest in local issues. He has enjoyed representing his local community on both the District and Parish Councils for many years.
He was educated locally before graduating from Imperial College, after which he worked as a Chartered Accountant. He was first elected to the District Council in 2004, and currently serves on North Horsham Parish Council as Chairman of the Finance Committee. He is also a trustee and the treasurer of Home-Start Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex, a local children’s charity.
Simon has fought hard for residents and has always put their interests before party politics. He strongly opposed the development north of Horsham and is determined to protect the Horsham/Crawley strategic gap from any further development. He is particularly interested in reducing anti-social behaviour in our area and keeping council tax increases to a minimum.
He said: “I have always enjoyed living in this beautiful part of the country and want to ensure our town remains special, preserving it for future generations”.
