Andy was elected as a Councillor for Gillingham North Ward in 2007 and has represented the area continuously ever since.

Andy is the Medway Labour Group’s Spokesperson for Communities and Regeneration and he was the Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Gillingham and Rainham at the 2017 and 2019 General Elections. Andy works for the Environment Agency and has a track record of campaigning to protect and improve the environment.

Andy has worked with the local community and other Labour Councillors on a number of successful local campaigns recently, including:
