Sam was brought up in Harpenden and educated locally. He is standing as a Town Councillor to give young people a voice in the Town.
Returning from University, he found out first hand how difficult it is to rent or buy in Harpenden. Talking with old friends, he says that all of them are in a similar situation and if they wish to live or work locally, they usuallye have to move back into their family home. Sam believes in managed development locally that gives young people a chance at establishing their lives. However, he thinks that any development needs to be appropriate to our area and be accompanied by the appropriate infrastructure, particularly improved roads.
He appreciates how lucky we all are to live in Harpenden and wishes to preserve the vitality of our High St and our unique green spaces in the Town.
Sam is currently working in the Financial Investors Real Estate tax team at Deloitte and is training to be an accountant. He graduated in History at the University of Cambridge.
