I am not a politician, I’m a young, fresh-minded and enthusiastic individual who cares

I was born and bred in this city and I am raising my family here

It is a privilege to continue to represent you and to fight for resources for our area

I live in Rough Common with my husband and three children and I think it's a fantastic place

I have represented Blean Forest as a city councillor since 2012

I play an active part in rural life

I have lived in the district almost all my life and served as a councillor since 2011.

I was first elected to represent Swalecliffe in 1976 and Chestfield in 1995 and have twice served as Lord Mayor of Canterbury.

A retired police officer, married with two adult children and five grandchildren, I have lived and worked in our district for 45 years.

Born in Whitstable and educated at Simon Langton Grammar School in Canterbury, Ashley retired from Kent County Constabulary in 2004 as Head of its Frontier Operations Department following some 30 years' service much of which was spent working alongside French counterparts.
