About me

I was elected on to the council in June 2009 and, as well as the above positions, sit on the authority’s Health and Adult Care Scrutiny and Improvement Committee.  I also represent Belper North on Amber Valley Borough Council.

I work as an archaeologist for Trent and Peak Archaeology at the University of Nottingham and have written widely for magazines and journals on archaeology, particularly rock-art.

I’ve also written a book titled Hunting in Britain:  from the Ice Age to the Present, and represent the county council on the Derbyshire Archaeological Advisory Committee and Creswell Heritage Trust Council of Management where I’m a director.

I’m interested in themes that build sustainable and cohesive communities and villages, and I’m always interested in hearing from local group that work to do this.

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.
