Welcome to my web site. I have now been an Alnwick District Councillor since May 2007 and am now getting to grips with the complexities of this challenging and time-consuming job.
I serve on the Development Control committee as well as Licensing, Appeals and Standards Committees. I am also a member of Amble Town Council representing Amble West which I hope will allow me to play a greater part in the more local issues which concern us all.
Clearly the next ten months are going to be a somewhat testing time before the new Unitary Council takes over, as there is still a great deal of uncertainty about what form it will take and whether local councils will have a greater input or not. Until then we must all work together to make the best of a bad job and to try to ensure a smooth change over.
My wife and I moved here in 1998 after retiring at 60 years of age.
My interests are Alnwick Rotary, playing golf at Foxton, bowls at Alnwick and Ashington. I am also a keen gardener and love the countryside, walking and bird watching. I'm proud to live and work in such an beautiful town.
I look forward to serving the people of Amble to the best of my ability.
