Martyn Ford
I was first elected on to the council in May 2005 and I'm delighted that I continue to represent the Repton and Willington division.
As well as having the privilege of Chairing the above committee I also sit on the council's Health and Adult Care Improvement and Scrutiny Committee, a position that presents its own challenges as the authority faces the huge problem of future demographic changes associated with age profiles.
I also represent the council on the Derbyshire Combined Fire Authority where I'm keen to get involved with many aspects of its responsibilities.
As well as being a county councillor I also represent Willington and Findern ward on South Derbyshire District Council where I'm Chairman of Development and Control.
Outside of local politics I work in the aerospace industry and I really enjoy spending quality time with family and friends - and walking my Springer Spaniel, Murphy.
