Welcome to West Craven, Welcome to my Website

A year on

Barnoldswick Recycle Centre

A year on & I've just started to find my way round the maze that is County Hall. Through my website I would like to thank all the officers & staff for their patience, understanding & willingness to help me.

The job of a County Councillor is not just being based at County Hall; in fact I've had the opportunity to go to other parts of Lancashire through my work on the Adult Social Care and Health Overview & Scrutiny Committee. Together with my colleagues from this committee I have met many interesting people who have made a difference, sometimes only small, some huge, in their own areas. I have witnessed firsthand the diversity of culture, wealth & opportunity that exists in this great county of ours. I am particularly proud to have been part of the Task Group work on Safeguarding Adults that we did with other colleagues from Blackburn with Darwen Council & Blackpool Borough Council.

And so to the forthcoming year ahead, I honestly don’t know what this year will have install for me as your County Councillor, coupled with  a change of national  government with all that will bring. There will be many new & exciting challenges for Lancashire County Council & I am looking forward to all the new challenges that lay ahead for me.

A little bit about me. Before becoming a Politician I worked as a support worker for Calderstones NHS Partnership Trust, Whalley, working with adults with learning disabilities. Politics aside this is probably one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever done. I sit on many committees together with being a school Governor at 2 schools, 

Gisburn Road Community Primary School

& West Craven High Technology College.  I am also a Barnoldswick Town Councillor.

I hope you enjoy my Website & return many times, please tell others if you did. 

Best Wishes
