I have been actively involved in local government for almost 40 years, 39 years as a parish councillor and 26 years as a district councillor, and have always fully participated in community life.

I know I could fully represent you on the county council.

My main aims will be:

Ensuring you get value for money (Rock has the lowest rate in the district).

Do all I can to improve moral and social standards.

Strive for more responsibility and decision-making to be given to parish and town councils.

To be available at any time to help anyone.

To promote and encourage community spirit.

Without the fetters of party politics, I am better equipped to achieve these aims.

I was born in Bewdley and have lived at Rock all my life.

I love the area and will do all I can to protect and enhance it, also truly represent you, the people who have made Rock and Bewdley the unique area it is today.
