Kevin Parkinson
I was elected onto the county council in June 2009, taking up the Cabinet post for Regeneration in April 2011, after being Cabinet Support Member for Adult Care since June 2009.
Previously I was an Education and Young People Improvement and Scrutiny Committee Member and represented the council on the Derbyshire Police Authority.
Today I am responsible for Derbyshire's economic development strategy, working closely with the Local Economic Partnership, D2N2, and as Vice Chairman of Derbyshire Economic Partnership, continuing to build the right environment for inward investment with districts and borough partners, the private and third sectors.
Locally, I have lived in the Greater Heanor Division since 1994 and I am committed to ensuring that all communities across Greater Heanor 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 am also an Amber Valley Borough Councillor where I hold a cabinet support role as Special Advisor for Regeneration and am very proud to be leading on Heanor's Town Centre Regeneration Master Plan.
