I was first elected on to the county council in 1997.  As well as being Chairman of the above Committee, I am also a member of the council’s Health and Adult Care Improvement and Scrutiny Committee and represent it on the Peak District National Park Authority and Joint Advisory body.

I am also Chairman of the council’s Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE) and a Derbyshire Dales District Councillor for Bakewell, where I have been Mayor of the town three times.

Locally I am involved in many organisations and serve as President of both Bakewell’s St John Ambulance branch and the Bakewell District Club for the Disabled, and as Vice-president of the Royal British Legion Ladies section.

I am also Chairman of Bakewell Community Interest group, Chairman of Derbyshire Dales Community Forum, a member of Bakewell Responders and a former governor on three schools in the town.

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).
