Your council
I was first elected on to the county council to represent this ward in April 2004 during which time I have been a member of its Improvement and Scrutiny Committee for Resources and also a member of the council’s Standards Committee.
Prior to taking up my current cabinet post in June 2009, I was Shadow Cabinet Member for Community Safety for 18 months.
I am also an elected member for the West Hallam and Dale Abbey Ward on Erewash Borough Council, where I currently hold the post of Deputy Leader and Lead Member for Community Services.
I am also Chairman of West Hallam Parish Council and treasurer of the Magic Laser Cancer appeal, which purchases cancer related equipment.
I love sport and I am president of both West Hallam Football Club and West Hallam White Rose Cricket Club, and a lifelong season ticket holder of Derby County Football Club.
If you want to contact me about any aspect of Derbyshire County Council’s business or services you can do so by using the following details:
I attend the parish council meetings in the ward and I am always available for appointments before any of the meetings. Alternatively please feel free to contact me by telephone or email.
I’m 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
