Living close to the canal, I enjoy walking it and paddling my kayak on it and I am passionate about getting more leisure use of the canal for all. I have a particular interest in the history of Jersey Marine in general, and its involvement with the canal, and finding out about the Industrial history of sometimes hidden & forgotten parts of the canal infrastructure. My main hobbies are boating, kayaking & scuba diving. I have worked in Professional Services as a Programme Manager/Director for the last 25 years.

I am a senior care assistant in a local care home, I have worked in the care sector for over 20 years. I started fishing on the Tennant canal when I was about 9 years old and have walked it many times over the years it’s such a lovely place with lots of different wildlife.

I moved to Canalside 17 years ago, a flood and a lot of DIY hasn’t put me off, I love it here. I have come to understand the workings of the Tennant Canal over the years, discovering new facts all the time. I recognise now that the canal is in real danger of drying out in a hot summer, the weir in the river Neath must be restored this is our number one priority.
