• Council position: Cabinet Member for Young People

I was first elected on to the Council in May 2005 and took up my current position in June 2009.

This covers everything to do with children and young people, except schools, including   child protection, fostering and adoption, children’s homes, Early Years Education, Children’s Centres, the Youth Service and Youth Councils, plus other matters.

Prior to that I was the Shadow Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and sat on the Services for Children Improvement and Scrutiny Committee and the Audit committee.

I am also a councillor on Derbyshire Dales District Council for Tideswell and Chairman of Tideswell Parish council as well as a member of the Peak District National Park Authority.

I have three sons and live in Tideswell in an old house which I have recently renovated from being a former shop.

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).

I represent the council on a number of outside organisations or bodies
