About me

I was elected on to the County Council in May 2005 and sit on its Audit Committee, Pensions Committee and the Adult Health and Care Improvement and Scrutiny Committee - all issues of particular interest to me.

I was born in Newbold, went to school there and live in the division. I’m also a Chesterfield Borough councillor for part of the division which I’ve represented since 1991.

So I have a good knowledge of the area and look forward to continuing to help local people.

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 (opens in a new window) 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.
