Representing residents in St Mary's, listening to local concerns and working for practical solutions across Maidenhead and the Royal Borough.
Working for St Mary's
Jack has served as a borough councillor since 2023, representing residents in St Mary's ward in Maidenhead.
He believes local government should be about listening to residents, understanding the issues affecting neighbourhoods and finding practical ways to improve things.
Jack takes an independent approach to local politics, focusing on people and communities rather than national party agendas.
He is particularly interested in protecting local services, supporting neighbourhoods and making sure residents are kept informed about decisions that affect them.

Start with RBWM Report It
For routine service issues, the quickest first step is often to use the council's Report It system.
This creates a formal record and sends the issue to the relevant service team.
Keep the reference number. If the issue is not resolved, contact Jack and include the reference so he can help follow it up.
RBWM Report It →Already reported it?
If you have reported an issue but it has not been resolved, get in touch.
Include the location, what has happened, the council reference number and photographs if they help explain the problem.
Jack can then help follow the matter up with the appropriate council service.
Listening to residents
Jack believes good local representation starts with listening to the people who live in the ward.
He welcomes residents getting in touch with concerns, ideas and views about what is happening in St Mary's and across Maidenhead.
Jack also values direct engagement with residents through local meetings, community events and conversations within the ward.
