I was first elected on to the council in May 2005 and, until I took on my current cabinet role, I was the Shadow Cabinet Member for Environmental Services. 

I am also a council representative on the Peak District National Park Authority Joint Advisory group, and I am a previous member of the council’s Sustainable and Safe Communities Improvement and Scrutiny Committee and I have been a Derbyshire Combined Fire Authority representative. 

As well as being Chairman of my local Divisional Road Transport Forum I am also a governor on South Wingfield Primary School ,Chairman of Crich Quarry Liaison Committee and a member of Cromford Quarry Liaison Committee. 

For more than 30 years I was a  Derbyshire police officer before retiring as a.

I am always keen to get feedback, good or bad, on county council related matters so you can help shape what we do and how we do it, both now and in years to come. Young people can also make their voice heard through the council’s b_line (opens in a new window)  site or by emailing youngpeople@derbyshire.gov.uk

You can also come along to any of Derbyshire County Council meetings which take place six times a year, usually on a Wednesday afternoon, at its headquarters in Matlock.  You can either just watch the proceedings or you can ask a question. Details of how to do this are available here (opens in a new window).

I represent the council on a number of outside organisations or bodies
