About me

I was first elected on to the council in 1989 for four years and, following a 12 year break, was re-elected in 2005 and, again, in 2009 where I’m currently a member of its Regulatory Planning Committee.

I’m also a North East Derbyshire District councillor with cabinet responsibility for safer communities and health, a Clay Cross Parish councillor and a governor on two local schools - Sharley Park Community Primary School, which I Chair, and Tupton Hall School.

In addition I’m very proud to be the district council’s Member Champion for the £22 million regeneration of Clay Cross, an area in which I was born and bred and where I continue to live along with my wife, Gillian, our children and their families.

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.
