About me

I was elected onto the county council in June 2009. As well as my cabinet support role, I am an Education and Young People Improvement and Scrutiny Committee member and represent the council on the Derbyshire Police Authority.

I am committed to ensuring that all residents across Greater Heanor and our outlying parishes are proud to live here because they feel safe in their homes, on our streets and recognise that the services we deliver are value for money.

I have lived in the Greater Heanor division for over 10 years and worked as a self-employed business manager since leaving the Army in 1998.  I am also an Amber Valley Borough Councillor where I am proud to be leading on the Town Centre Regeneration.

I have a special interest in health and social care and sit on the Royal Derby Hospital Foundation NHS Trust Board of Governors, and I am also a lay member of the NHS East Midlands Workforce Deanery.

 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.
